First OSHA delayed until August 1 in putting up the website which was supposed to be up by the end of February.\u00a0 Then there came\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.safetylawmatters.com\/2017\/08\/data-security-breach-osha-false-alarm-time\/\">false<\/a>\u00a0accusations of a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/jordanbarab.com\/confinedspace\/2017\/08\/17\/osha-shuts-down-recordkeeping-webpage\/\">data breach<\/a>, and finally a delay in issuing the final change in the required submission deadline.<\/p>\n<p>When the regulation was issued last year, OSHA stated that the data would be published on the web. &#8220;Public disclosure of work injury data will encourage employers to increase their efforts to prevent work-related injuries and illnesses,&#8221; OSHA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/news\/newsreleases\/national\/05112016\">announced<\/a> when the regulation was issued in May 2016.\u00a0 The Trump administration has not disclosed its intentions about publicizing the data, although there is legal precedent for requiring the agency to publish the data on OSHA&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n<p>Other parts of the \u201celectronic\u201d recordkeeping regulation are being challenged in court and are under reconsideration by OSHA. The agency also announced today that OSHA is currently reviewing the other provisions of its final rule to Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses, and intends to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking to reconsider, revise, or remove portions of that rule in 2018.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some in the business community don\u2019t like requirements that more detailed information on injuries and illnesses be sent to OSHA starting next year, or that OSHA has prohibited employers from retaliating against workers for reporting injuries.\u00a0 At last week\u2019s Congressional hearing, Secretary of Labor Acosta\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/jordanbarab.com\/confinedspace\/2017\/11\/20\/acosta-testifies-not-terrible\/\">falsely stated<\/a>\u00a0that the regulation\u00a0\u201cwas asking for some information that was very detailed and that identifies individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>OSHA also noted that seven state plans,\u00a0California, Maryland, Minnesota, South Carolina, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming, have not yet adopted the regulations. States are supposed to adopt all new OSHA standards and regulations within 6 months of federal OSHA&#8217;s issuance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After multiple delays, OSHA has finally announced that employers who are required to keep OSHA injury and illness records must send summary information in to the agency by December 15, fifteen days after the deadline announced last\u00a0June, when the agency proposed to\u00a0delay\u00a0the reporting deadline from July 1 to December 1.
