The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued its final rule on electronic tracking of workplace injuries and illnesses. The rule will revise OSHA requirements for recording and submitting records of workplace injuries and illnesses. Some of this recorded information will now be posted on the OSHA website. In addition, the final rule includes provisions that encourage workers to report work-related injuries and illnesses to their employers and prohibit employers from retaliating against workers for making those reports.
