The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is considering a change in policy that would require organizations to submit company-wide data on illnesses and injuries.
Current policy does not require company-wide data, but does require that data be submitted from each separate establishment within a company.
Employers with as few as 50 workers at multiple worksites could be required to submit companywide injury and illness information.
