In May 2016, OSHA published a final rule to Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses, which requires certain employers to, among other things, electronically submit injury and illness data to OSHA on an annual basis. Since the implementation of the final rule, the original electronic submission deadline of July 1, 2017, has been extended several times. On November 22, 2017, OSHA issued a press release stating that it intended to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking to “reconsider, revise, or remove portions” of the final rule in 2018.
