On February 11th, Eric J. Conn and Lindsay A. Smith of Conn Maciel Carey’s national OSHA Practice Group delivered a complimentary webinar regarding “OSHA’s New Fatality and Injury Reporting Rule – What We Know Now” as part of the Firm’s 2016 OSHA Webinar Series.
To kick off 2015, OSHA rolled-out a major change to its Fatality & Injury Reporting Rule to require employers to contact OSHA thousands of times more often to report incidents, which means many more inspections. A year into the new reporting regime now, it seemed like the perfect time to take a look at what is being reported to OSHA and what OSHA is doing with all the new reports.
Participants learned about:
- The requirements of OSHA’s new Fatality and Injury Reporting Rule
- Lessons learned about reports that some employers are making that are not required
- Review the data and trends of reports made to OSHA during the first year under the new Reporting Rule
- Evaluate what actions OSHA is taking in response to the various types of reports it is receiving (and not receiving)
Here is a link to a recording of the webinar.
