Your Host: Eric J. Conn and Amanda R. Strainis-Walker
OSHA’s controversial new Electronic Injury and Illness Recordkeeping and Anti-Retaliation Rule has thus far survived a barrage of negative stakeholder comments during the rulemaking, multiple enforcement deferrals, and a legal challenge complete with a preliminary injunction motion. As of today, all elements of the rule are in effect, including limits on post-injury drug testing and safety incentive programs, and by or before July 1, 2017, thousands of employers will, for the first time, submit injury and illness recordkeeping data to OSHA, possibly for publishing online.
During this webinar, participants will learn about:
-
Requirements of OSHA’s Electronic Injury Recordkeeping data submission
-
Anti-Retaliation Elements of the E-Recordkeeping Rule
-
The status and future of this new Final Rule
