OSHA RECORDKEEPING RULE TAKES EFFECT
Simpler, easier to follow requirements for tracking workplace injuries and illnesses are now in force for 1.4 million employers covered by OSHA's new recordkeeping rule.
"The new recordkeeping system is easier for employers to understand, better protects employee privacy in sensitive cases and will yield more accurate injury and illness data," said OSHA Administrator John L. Henshaw. "The new OSHA forms are smaller; they fit on legal size paper. We've also clarified and simplified the instructions for filling out the forms."

OSHA DELAYS PROVISIONS OF RECORDKEEPING RULE
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is delaying the
effective date of three provisions of the Occupational Injury and Illness
Recording and Reporting Requirements rule published January 19, 2001 (66 FR
5916-6135) and is establishing interim criteria for recording cases of
work-related hearing loss. The provisions being delayed are §§ 1904.10(a) and
(b), which specify recording criteria for cases involving occupational hearing
loss, § 1904.12, which defines "musculoskeletal disorder (MSD)" and requires
employers to check the MSD column on the OSHA Log if an employee experiences a
work- related musculoskeletal disorder, and § 1904.29(b)(7)(vi), which states
that MSDs are not considered privacy concern cases. The effective date of these
provisions is delayed from January 1, 2002 until January 1, 2003. OSHA will
continue to evaluate §§ 1904.10 and 1904.12 over the next year.
