Event Synopsis:
On May 12, 2016, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued its final Electronic Recordkeeping Rule that will expand electronic recordkeeping requirements for workplace injury and illness information. The final rule means additional recordkeeping obligations and extra administrative burdens for employers. The controversial final rule will also make such records searchable and publicly available.
OSHA thinks that this rule will promote workplace safety and will provide crucial information for employees, job applicants, and consumers. Key amendments to the final rule also include several new anti-retaliation provisions that provide new protections for employees reporting work-related injuries and illnesses. While the electronic reporting requirements of the final rule will take effect in January 1, 2017, these anti-retaliation provisions will soon become enforceable on August 10, 2016.
In this two-hour LIVE Webcast, a panel of key thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide employers and audience with a detailed overview of OSHA's New Electronic Recordkeeping Rule and will provide a roadmap in developing and implementing an effective recordkeeping policy to ensure regulatory compliance.

Key topics include:

New Electronic Recordkeeping Rule – An Overview
Implications to Employers
Anti-Retaliation Provisions
Potential Risks and Common Pitfalls
Best Compliance Practices
