Effective January 1, 2024, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) implemented new electronic reporting requirements for workplace injuries and illnesses.
Does your business meet the new OSHA standards? Learn how these changes could affect your recordkeeping process and how Risk Management Information Systems (RMIS) can help.
What Do Companies Need to Do?
The OSHA rules mandate that companies with 100+ employees in specific industries must electronically submit data from OSHA Forms 300 and 301 annually. These forms track injuries, illnesses, restricted work, and job transfers.
Why Legal Names Matter in OSHA Submissions
To ensure accuracy, employers must also include their legal company name when submitting data.
What Will Be Made Public?
OSHA intends to publish some of the data from the annual submissions on a public website to enable workers and employers to make more informed decisions about their workplace’s safety and health.
Understanding the Broader Impact
The new OSHA electronic recordkeeping rule represents a major step toward stronger workplace safety and transparency.
It also presents new challenges for employers who must ensure compliance.
Traditional vs. Modern OSHA Compliance Methods
Traditional safety compliance methods often demanded extensive manual data entry, paper recordkeeping, and risk penalties for errors.
These processes drain resources. As a result, many organizations have transitioned to more efficient, cost-effective solutions to reduce administrative workloads.
Benefits of Using a Risk Management Information System (RMIS)
For businesses looking to adapt to the current compliance landscape, embracing a Risk Management Information System (RMIS) can be a powerful option.
