OSHA Issues Final Rule on Federal Agency Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirement
Federal Register # 68793_68805 [04_25955]

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has published a final rule in the November 26th Federal Register that requires federal government agencies to adopt worker safety and health recordkeeping and reporting requirements that are essentially identical to the private sector. The new requirements will go into effect beginning Jan. 1, 2005.

"These new requirements will improve recordkeeping which will enhance the ability of federal agencies and employees to prevent occupational injuries and illnesses," said OSHA Administrator John Henshaw. "Producing more useful data will better enable the agencies to identify patterns of injuries and illnesses and focus on the most effective intervention."
