OSHA, or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, has certain rules and requirements for individuals and organizations. However, it also has requirements for itself.

One of the most recent requirements OSHA set forth for itself was the electronic reporting rule. This rule requires certain organizations to report information electronically from their OSHA Forms 300, 300A and 301. Additionally, under the rule, OSHA must create a secure website where this required information will be submitted.

The original deadline to have the website running and having the electronic reporting rule in effect was July 1st, 2017. However, OSHA will NOT have its website ready to receive electronic reports from employers by the deadline.

No new reporting deadline has been put out by OSHA yet and they have NOT officially delayed the July 1st deadline, even though the website will not be ready in time.

Establishments that could be affected should continue to record and report their workplace injuries as required by law and keep updated on these new reporting regulations and developments. Especially in the case that a new deadline should be adopted.

Lawley Construction will stay abreast of these changes and will alert our clients as soon as a new deadline, if any, is released.
