Seyfarth Synopsis:
OSHA's has indicated in a news release that it "intends to publish a
notice of proposed rulemaking to reconsider, revise, or remove
portions" of the "Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries
and Illnesses" rule, in 2018.
We
recently blogged on OSHA's notice that the deadline for
submitting 2016 Form 300A for establishments with 250 or more
employees (or with 20-249 employees operating in what OSHA deems to
be "high-risk industries") was delayed to December 15,
2017.
Also included in the notice delaying the submission deadline to
December 15, 2017 was an indication that OSHA "intends to
publish a notice of proposed rulemaking to reconsider, revise, or
remove portions" of the "Improve Tracking of Workplace
Injuries and Illnesses" rule, in 2018. This is the first
written indication by OSHA of a timeline by which it intends to
"reconsider, revise, or remove portions" of the Rule, and
may signal welcome relief from certain requirements strongly
opposed by the employer community.
We will continue to monitor OSHA's activities relating to
this rule.
