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.
