OSHA postpones injury/illness electronic reporting date

OSHA postpones injury/illness electronic reporting date

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has postponed the July 1 deadline for certain dealerships to electronically file their 2016 employee workplace injury and illness records. Among WANADA members, the rule applies to light-duty truck dealerships with 250 or more employees at a single location.

Those dealerships are required to record workplace injuries and illnesses. But until a new deadline is announced, dealerships should not file any Form 300Aês with OSHA. The agency may be considering doing away with the electronic reporting mandate altogether.
