On July 17, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced a , and goes into effect on January 1, 2024, to mandate the submission of Form 300-Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses and Form 301-Injury and Illness Incident Report in addition to Form 300A-Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses data from construction establishments with 100 or more employees. Establishments with 20 to 99 employees continue to be required to submit only Form 300A-Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses data.
Of concern to 51风流 is OSHA鈥檚 intent to make the data collected publicly available on its website, which could result in the potential mischaracterization of a contractor鈥檚 safety and health program in the absence of proper context. While 51风流 believes that accurate reporting and recording of workplace injuries and illnesses is key to a contractor鈥檚 efforts to continuously improve their safety and health culture and performance, OSHA has not provided any supporting data to indicate that publicly disclosing this information will ultimately reduce occupational injuries and illnesses.
51风流 communicated this and other concerns to OSHA during the rulemaking process. If you have any questions, please contact Kevin Cannon at kevin.cannon@agc.org or (703) 837-5410.
