n August 1, 2017, the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) went "live" with its data submission
platform that certain employers will need to use when
submitting their injury and illness data to the agency by the
revised December 1, 2017, deadline. The requirements arise
under OSHA's electronic recordkeeping rule, which was
promulgated on May 12, 2016. The original data submission
deadline had been July 1, 2017, but was delayed to permit
OSHA to develop its web-based program and for employers
to gain familiarity with the new system.
