OSHA Proposes MSD Column for OSHA 300 Log
Wednesday, February 10th
OSHA is proposing to revise its Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting (Recordkeeping) regulation to restore a column to the OSHA 300 Log that employers would use to record work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). The 2001 Recordkeeping final regulation included an MSD column, but the requirement was deleted before the regulation became effective. This proposed rule would require employers to place a check mark in the MSD column, instead of the column they currently mark, if a case is an MSD that meets the Recordkeeping regulation's general recording requirements. Comments are due March 15, 2010. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/2010-2010.htm. Read the news release at http://www.dol.gov/opa/media/press/osha/osha20100135.htm.
