Department of Labor Rolls Back Reporting Requirements to Protect Employee Privacy

OSHA issued final rule eliminating requirement for electronic submission of Forms 300 and 301

1. Form 300 - Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses
2. Form 301 - Injury and Illness Incident Report

 - Maintenance of these forms are still required on-site and are still subject to inspections and enforcement actions

- Eliminating electronic reporting avoids risk of personal information being publicly disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)

- Form 300A (Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses) still requires electronic submission

- OSHA has determined that this final rule will allow OSHA to improve enforcement targeting and compliance assistance, protect worker privacy and safety, and decrease burden on employers.
