OSHA has finally suggested the Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Requirements Rule thus ending the time for public comment.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration intends to change the per-existing principles to make sure employers that have 10 or more employees would need to keep a record of some work-related musculature disorders in their OSHA 300 Log.
The Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy was sought by the small business community to voice concern over the potential small business costs as well as the complexity of the proposed rule. The SBA Office of Advocacy filed comments that signify the opinions of small businesses along with OSHA.
The OSHA 300 Log is a record of work-related sicknesses and injuries that most employers are duty-bound to keep. Musculature Disorder is defined by OSHA as disarrays of muscles, ligaments, cartilage, tendons, joints and spinal discs. However it does not consist of injuries that are caused due to trips, falls, slips, automobile accidents or any similar accident.
OSHA has taken on the initiatives to evaluate and examine the comments to sum-up the final rule. By Jan.1, 2011., the ruling will be in place.
Injuries and sickness is part of every work sites or occupations but is the responsibility of both the employers and employees to see that the work environment is as safe and healthy as possible. The OSHA safety training courses are designed to help workers comply with the OSHA standards. The OSHA safety training program will help both employers and employees to gain the knowledge about the current safety procedures.
