OSHA proposes change to injury/illness data collection
OSHA is proposing to revise its Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting regulation by restoring a column on the OSHA Form 300 to better identify work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The rule does not change existing requirements for when and under what circumstances employers must record musculoskeletal disorders on their injury and illness logs. It would require employers to place a check mark in a column for all MSDs they have recorded. "Restoring the MSD column will improve the ability of workers and employers to identify and prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders by providing simple and easily accessible information," said Assistant Secretary Michaels. "It will also improve the accuracy and completeness of national work-related injury and illness data." For more information, read the news release and Federal Register notice.

Ergonomics Ergonomics Ergonomics. Get used to it because Im afraid we are in for a lot of talk in the next three years. Heres the rub! AIHA and many others have long supported an ergonomics standard. But AIHA and many others had some concern about the proposal overthrown by Congress back in 2001. Now, the administration says they will address this issue in the next three years and industry says it is gearing up for a fight on the issue.
