Employer obligation to make and maintain an accurate record of each recordable injury and illness
Published in the May 2017 issue of Washington Update
Under the Congressional Review Act, Congress has passed, and the President has signed, Public Law 115-21, a resolution of disapproval of Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) final rule titled, "Clarification of Employer's Continuing Obligation to Make and Maintain an Accurate Record of Each Recordable Injury and Illness." OSHA published the rule, which contained various amendments to OSHA's recordkeeping regulations, on December 19, 2016. The amendments became effective on January 18, 2017.
Because Public Law 115-21 invalidates the amendments to OSHA's recordkeeping regulations contained in the rule promulgated on December 19, 2016, OSHA is hereby removing those amendments from the Code of Federal Regulations.
Published: 5/3/2017. Action: Final Rule. Reference: 82 FR 20548; Reg: 29 CFR Part 1904; Effective May 3, 2017.
