Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses

On March 2022, OSHA published a proposed rule, " Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses " according to which the new proposed regulations for organizations are as follows:

• Companies with over 20 employees, working in certain hazardous industries are requested to submit reports to the electronic 300 log form once every year. 

• Companies with over 100 employees should submit the Form 300 Log and Form 301 Incident Report once a year to OSHA for evaluation. Along with this, they are also required to submit the Form 300A Annual Summary.

Moreover, companies that have over 250 employees but do not involve any hazardous site or industry are requested not to submit their record-keeping information to OSHA. These regulations have helped the agency in analyzing the situations and working on making informed regulations and policies to bring about a huge shift in the major industries. 

The main perks that OSHA gets by focusing on and evaluating Forms 300 and 301 involve the following listed benefits to improve the safety and well-being of the workplaces:

• OSHA uses its resources to effectively analyze the ongoing operations and working criteria of the company to offer more suitable compliance assistance and enforcement policies

•
