OSHA Expands Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements
NYSHFA | NYSHFA members should be aware of some new regulations that will apply to facilities with more than 100 employees. Effective January 1, 2024, OSHA is expanding its recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
- Establishments with 100 or more employees in certain industries are required to electronically submit information from their OSHA Forms 300 and 301 to OSHA on an annual basis.
- Establishments with 250 or more employees that are subject to OSHA’s record-keeping regulation will continue to be required to submit information from their OSHA 300A form to OSHA annually.
- Establishments with 20 to 249 employees in certain high-risk industries will continue to be required to submit information from their OSHA 300A form to OSHA annually.
Please keep in mind that an establishment is considered one location, not the organization as a whole.
OSHA has developed a lookup tool for organizations to determine if they are covered by the new rule. The tool can be found here – https://www.osha.gov/itareportapp
Submission of data can begin on January 2, 2024, and must be completed by March 2, 2024.
Industries that are exempt from OSHA recordkeeping rules can be found here – https://www.osha.gov/itareportapp.
But keep in mind that all employers, regardless of exemption status are required to report to OSHA any workplace incident that results in a fatality, in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye. Those instructions can be found here – Report a Fatality or Severe Injury | Occupational Safety and Health Administration (osha.gov).
