The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) extended to Oct. 14 the comment period on the proposed rule to improve tracking of workplace injuries and illnesses. The proposal — published Nov. 8, 2013 —would amend the agency's recordkeeping regulation to add requirements for the electronic submission of injury and illness information employers already are required to keep. During a public meeting, many participants expressed concern that the proposal may create motivation for employers to under-record injuries and illnesses because each covered establishment's injury and illness data would become publicly available.
