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.

Need flexible credit hours, PDH’s?  4 contact hours will be awarded to those in attendance.

Registration is now open for the OSHA 300 Log Illness & Injury Recordkeeping & Reporting Class, to be held on December 8, 2016 at IAMU.  

OSHA has put into place an additional 1904 Recordkeeping rule which takes effect January 1, 2017.  This new rule applies to certain high risk industries, including the Utilities Industry (NAICS 22), and requires employers to electronically submit their annual Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (300A) forms to OSHA.  This additional rule makes it more important now than ever that these forms be correctly completed.  The NAICS Sector 22 includes Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution, Water Supply and Sewage Treatment Facilities, and Natural Gas Distribution and are considered by OSHA to be high-hazard industries.

This class explains the regulatory requirements of OSHA’s recordkeeping standard; Part 1904 - Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses.  Class attendees will learn which types of injuries and illnesses are recordable, how to make entries on the OSHA 300 recordkeeping forms and how to complete the annual summary form (300A). Utility employers (including city-owned utilities) with 20-249 employees must submit information from their 2016 Form 300A by July 1, 2017, and their 2017 form 300A by July 1, 2018.  Beginning in 2019 and every year thereafter, the information must be submitted by March 2.

This is a repeat of a class that was held in October.  After the development of this class it was determined that due to the nature of the materials being covered that a webinar was not the best format for this class, so an in-person workshop will only be offered.  Registration starts at 9:30, class runs 10:00 – 3:00, lunch and breaks included in cost.
