OSHA Update!
OSHA updated its reporting rules for worker injuries. The big change is that you have to report any hospitalization now within 24 hours, whereas before single reports were not required. Also required is a report of worker death within eight hours, and the report of the lose of fingers and/or toes as well as eyes which before wasn’t required in single incidences. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 4,405 workers were killed on the job last year. For more on the new OSHA rulings read below-
