The final rule that will require employers to notify OSHA of all work-related hospitalizations (not just 3 or more hospitalizations), amputations and losses of an eye in addition to workplace fatalities has been published in the Federal Register. The rule, which also updates the list of employers partially exempt from OSHA record-keeping requirements, will go into effect January 1, 2015.
