3. Updates to OSHA’s Recordkeeping and Reporting Rule www.osha.gov OSHA has expanded the list of severe injuries & illnesses that employers must report & updated the list of industries who are partially exempt from routinely keeping OSHA records. The Final rule becomes effective January 1, 2015 for workplaces under Federal OSHA jurisdiction.

4. Expanded reporting requirements The rule expands the list of severe work-related injuries and illnesses that all covered employers must report to OSHA. Starting January 1, employers must report the following to OSHA: All work-related fatalities within 8 hours (same as current requirement) All work-related in-patient hospitalizations of one or more employees within 24 hours All work-related amputations within 24 hours All work-related losses of an eye within 24 hours www.osha.gov

5. Expanded reporting requirements www.osha.gov If the injury or illness resulted in a fatality, hospitalization, amputation or loss of an eye, report to OSHA. If you are in an industry covered by OSHA’s updated recordkeeping requirements, also make a record of the injury or illness in the OSHA 300 Log.

6. By telephone to the nearest OSHA office during normal business hours. By telephone to the 24-hour OSHA hotline (1-800-321-OSHA or 1-800-321-6742). Online: OSHA is developing a new means of reporting events electronically, which will be available soon at www.osha.gov/report_online. www.osha.gov/report_online www.osha.gov How can employers report to OSHA?

7. The rule also updates the list of industries that are partially exempt from the requirement to routinely keep OSHA injury & illness records (e.g. the OSHA 300 log), due to relatively low occupational injury & illness rates. The new rule retains the exemption for any firm with ten or fewer employees, regardless of their industry classification, from the requirement to routinely keep records. Reminder: All employers, even those exempt from recordkeeping requirements, must report a work-related fatality, in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye to OSHA. www.osha.gov Industry exemptions See OSHA fact sheet: “Updates of OSHA’s Recordkeeping Rule: An Overview”

8. The previous list of exempt industries was based on the old Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system, as well as injury & illness data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) from 1996, 1997 & 1998. The new list is based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), as well as BLS data from 2007, 2008 & 2009. www.osha.gov Industry exemptions
