CWS Files Comments on OSHA’s Recordkeeping and Reporting RFI

On March 31, the Coalition for Workplace Safety submitted comments on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) request for information (RFI) on its recordkeeping and reporting obligations related to occupational injuries and illnesses. CWS reiterated our “serious concerns about the electronic submission and public posting of data from Forms 300, 301 and 300A,” as was established under OSHA’s Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses final rule. As we explain in our comments, “The only way to ensure this information is truly protected is not to collect it at all, or at a minimum, discontinue making it publicly available.”
