Yesterday, OSHA announced that it would delay the effective date of one portion of the final rule, “Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses” also known as the Electronic Recordkeeping rule. Specifically, OSHA has delayed enforcement of the anti-retaliation provision, 1904.35(b)(1)(iv), from August 10, 2016 until November 1, 2016. Section 1904.35(b)(1)(iv), states, “[employers] must not discharge or in any manner discriminate against any employee for reporting a work-related injury or illness.”
