You’ve got about another two weeks to submit comments to the U.S. Department of Labor on the proposed rule that clarifies an employer’s continuing obligation to make and maintain an accurate record of each recordable injury and illness.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued the proposed rule “to clarify its long-standing position that the duty to record an injury or illness continues for as long as the employer must keep records of the recordable injury or illness. The proposed amendments add no new compliance obligations; the proposal would not require employers to make records of any injuries or illnesses for which records are not already required.”
OSHA extended the comment period in a Sept. 21 announcement. October 28 is the last day to submit comments.
