OSHA
is delaying enforcement of
the anti-retaliation provisions in its new injury and illness tracking rule to
conduct additional outreach and provide educational materials and guidance for
employers. Originally scheduled to begin Aug. 10, 2016, enforcement will now
begin Nov. 1, 2016. Under the rule, employers are required to inform workers of
their right to report work-related injuries and illnesses without fear of
retaliation; implement procedures for reporting injuries and illnesses that are
reasonable and do not deter workers from reporting; and employers are
prohibited from retaliating against workers for reporting injuries and
illnesses.
