On Sept. 11, 2014, OSHA announced its final rule revising its recordkeeping standard, which has significantly expanded the recordkeeping rule’s reach to hundreds of thousands of new employers and placed further burdens on employers to report additional workplace injuries and illnesses. Since these new rules became effective on Jan. 1, 2015, employers had little time to modify their practices and prepare for the coming wave of enforcement.
The new standard’s implications are significant: The reporting of a death or serious injury often leads to an OSHA inspection, which brings its own set of issues. Thus, by requiring employers to now report more injuries and illnesses, the number of OSHA inspections, and citations issued as a result, will certainly increase.
Join Mark A. Lies II and Kerry M. Mohan as they discuss the new rule's impact on employers and safety managers and explain how employers should be training their recordkeepers and preparing for more OSHA inspections.
