New OSHA Reporting Requirements
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has amended US Federal Regulations for Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses. The new regulations impact JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Health and Safety Incident Management (HSIM) and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Resources Health and Safety Management (H&S) as follows:
Reporting Reportable Injuries (§1904.39): Reporting fatalities, hospitalizations, amputations, and losses of an eye. Fatalities, hospitalizations, amputations, and loss of an eye are defined as ‘reportable’ injuries. Reportable injuries must be reported to OSHA immediately (8 or 24 hours depending on injury). Additional fields are needed to distinguish between a recordable and a reportable case and to track information about reportable injuries.
