OSHA Updates Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Requirements

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is issuing a final rule to update its Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting regulation, which affects industries with low occupational injury and illness rates. The updated regulation requires employers to report all work-related in-patient hospitalizations, amputations, and eye losses within 24 hours of the event, in addition to existing requirements for reporting fatalities within eight hours.
