Title: Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Requirements--Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) Column | |
Abstract:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) proposed to restore a column to the OSHA 300 Log that employers must check if a case they are already required to record under OSHA's existing recordkeeping rule (29 CFR 1904) is a "musculoskeletal disorder" (MSD). This rulemaking does not change the existing requirements about when and under what circumstances employers must record work-related injuries and illnesses. The Agency believes that having aggregate data on MSDs may help employers and workers track these injuries at individual workplaces. MSD information will also improve the utility, accuracy, and completeness of the national occupational injury and illness statistics, and may assist the Agency in its day-to-day activities and overall safety and health policy making. This rulemaking was temporarily withdrawn from OMB on January 26, 2011, so that the Agency could gather more information from stakeholders in the small business community. |
