Citing Underrecording Concerns, OSHA Extends Comment Period for Electronic-Reporting Rule
When OSHA convened a public meeting to discuss the proposal, many participants expressed concern that the rule would encourage underrecording of injuries and illnesses, since each covered establishment’s data would become publicly available on OSHA’s website.
OSHA said it has extended the comment period on its controversial proposed electronic-reporting rule. The agency has pushed the comment deadline to Oct. 14.
