OSHA to require certain employers to submit certain injury, illness data

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration July 17 released a final rule requiring employers in certain high-hazard fields, including health care, with 100 or more employees to electronically submit data from their Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (Form 300) and Injury and Illness Incident Report (Form 3010) once a year beginning in January 2024. They also must include their legal company name when making electronic submissions to OSHA from their injury and illness records. The requirements apply to establishments covered by federal OSHA, as well as establishments covered by states with their own occupational safety and health programs (i.e., State Plans). OSHA plans to publicly report some of the data on its website.
