The U.S. Department of Labor recently announced a new rule that will significantly impact businesses in high-hazard industries for OSHA recordkeeping. Starting from January 1, 2024, certain employers will be required to electronically submit injury and illness information.

This information will be made publicly accessible, allowing various stakeholders to make informed decisions about a company’s workplace safety and health record.
Why is OSHA Compliance important?
Transparency is a key factor in improving workplace safety. By making this data publicly available, OSHA aims to reduce occupational injuries and illnesses. This rule represents a significant step towards realizing the objectives of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and underscores the importance of OSHA compliance in creating safer workplaces.
