During last year’s OSHA 300 Log Recordkeeping workshops (29 CFR 1904 Recording and Reporting Occupational Illnesses and Injuries), IAMU discussed OSHA’s new electronic submission of records rule. This rule was scheduled to go into effect on January 1, 2017. This new rule required employers in listed industries, or those with 250 or more employees, to electronically submit injury and illness data electronically to OSHA. The webpage for data entry was scheduled to be posted on OSHA’s website by February 1, 2017 and all of the data entered by July 1, 2017. This webpage was not posted and most likely never will be.
With the change of administration, it is anticipated that this rule will be revoked. On February 21, 2017, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce introduced H.J.RES.83 – Disapproving the rule submitted by the Department of Labor relating to "Clarification of Employer's Continuing Obligation to Make and Maintain an Accurate Record of Each Recordable Injury and Illness". The legislation passed the House on March 1, 2017 and was received in the Senate on March 2, 2017. To follow the progress on this legislation, go to www.congress.gov and type the resolution number in the ‘search’ box.
IAMU will continue to monitor the progress of this legislation to overturn the new recordkeeping requirements.

Do you need to update or get additional copies of the Iowa and Federal employment laws or the “all-in-one” poster? This posting contains Iowa Occupational Safety & Health information, wage law, EEO, USERRA, FMLA, polygraph protection, unemployment insurance and National Labor Relations information.
Iowa law requires that each employer post and keep posted a notice informing employees of the legal protections provided for them at work. Each employer must take steps to ensure that the posting is not altered, defaced or covered by other materials. Make sure that each physical location where business is conducted, where services or industrial operations are performed or where employee notices are traditionally put up has the poster displayed.
Copies of this poster are free and to get one or multiple copies, go to http://www.iowadivisionoflabor.gov/iowa-osha-safety-and-health-poster and click on “an all-in-one poster”. The link will open a blank email so that you can enter the number of posters to be sent and your mailing address and other specific information.
