New OSHA record keeping requirements now in place

The federal Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has implemented a new rule for tracking workplace injuries and illnesses. The rule, which was effective Jan. 1, changes the way illnesses and injuries are defined and recorded at the Laboratory.

The new, mandatory OSHA record keeping process is intended to improve employee involvement, calls for greater employee privacy protection, creates simpler forms, provides clearer regulatory requirements and allows employers more flexibility to use computers to meet OSHA regulatory requirements.

Changes may be viewed on the OSHA Web page at http://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/RKside-by-side.html online.

For more information about the new OSHA recordkeeping process at the Lab, contact John Vance of Industrial Hygiene and Safety (HSR-5) at 5-6191 or write to vancej@lanl.gov by electronic mail.
