OIRA Completes Review of Injury and Illness Tracking Rule

The Biden Administration’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) has recently completed its review of the Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses law. OIRA’s review is one of the last steps in the process to finalizing the rule. The Department of Labor is expected to release the final version of the rule in the near future.  Under the OSHA proposed rule, establishments with 20 or more employees in certain designated industries (including many GCCA members) would continue to electronically submit information from their Form 300A annual summary to OSHA once a year. The proposed rule would eliminate the requirement for all establishments with 250 or more employees in industries that are required to routinely keep OSHA injury and illness records to electronically submit information from the Form 300A to OSHA. Instead, establishments with 100 or more employees in certain designated industries (again, impacting many GCCA members) would be required to electronically submit information from their OSHA Forms 300, 301, and 300A to OSHA once a year.
