[MCOH-EH] Electronic reporting of workplace injuries

[Angeli Mancuso]

Not sure why I'm feeling blindsided by this news http://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/moving-workplace-injury-and-safety-34458/. I was just reading the most recent AOHP e-bytes and noticed the article referring to electronically submitting injury information. I knew we were expecting this for incidents of work-place violence but did not understand the potential for our 300 logs.

Does anyone have a plan in place or has OSHA even determined the means in which to report?


Be well,
Angeli
