On Dec. 19, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) published a final rule to revise existing language in the recordkeeping regulation to emphasize an employers responsibility to make and maintain accurate OSHA 300 Logs and all related incident reports. The new rule drastically expands on the existing regulatory language and in some cases added new provisions. While the newly published rule does make clear OSHAs expectations involving the maintenance of injury and illness records, the true impetus for the rulemaking is to drastically expand the agencys statute of limitation granted by the OSH Act. The OSH Act clearly states that no citations may be issued after the expiration of six months following the occurrence of any violation. However, this new rule will allow contractors to be cited for honest mistakes, or inaccuracies, related to recordkeeping dating back as far as five-and-a-half years. OSHAs justification is that an omission of an injury or illness from the OSHA 300 Log constitutes an ongoing occurrence until corrected during the five-year retention period under the recordkeeping regulation.
