Abstract:
The OSH Act and 29 CFR Part 1904 prescribe that certain employers maintain records of job related injuries and illnesses. The data are needed by OSHA to carry out intervention and enforcement activities to guarantee workers safe and healthful workplaces. The data are also needed by BLS to produce national statistics on occupational injuries and illnesses. This final amends OSHA's recordkeeping regulations to clarify that the duty to make and maintain accurate records of work-related injuries and illnesses continues as long as the employer must keep records of recordable injury or illness; the duty does not expire just because the employer fails to create the necessary records when first required to do so.
