The OSH Act and 29 CFR Part 1904 prescribe that certain employers maintain records of job related injuries and illnesses. The data are needed by OSHA to carry out intervention and enforcement activities to guarantee workers safe and healthful workplaces. The data are also needed by BLS to produce national statistics on occupational injuries and illnesses. This Final makes changes to OSHA's reporting system for occupational injuries and illnesses. An updated and modernized reporting system enables a more efficient and timely collection of data, and improves the accuracy and availability of the relevant records and statistics. This rulemaking involves modification to 29 CFR part 1904.41 to expand OSHA's legal authority to collect and make available injury and illness information required under part 1904, and a modification to 29 CFR part 1904.35 to clarify an employeeâs right to report injury and illnesses to their employer without fear of retaliation.
US Code:
29 USC 673
Name of Law: Occupational Safety and Health Act

The burden hours for the additional reporting requirements contained in the 1904.41 are estimated to be 173,406 hours, program change, for the initial year of implementation. There is an adjustment decrease of 750,637 burden hours due to decreases in 1) the number of establishments covered by the recordkeeping rule; 2) the number of injuries and illness recorded by covered employers; and 3) the number of fatalities, amputations, hospitalization, and loss of eye reported by employers. These estimates have all been updated using the most current data available.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
