Waiting Room
Entrepreneur, Oct, 2001 by Stephen Barlas
OSHA WANTS TO DELAY SOME CHANGES IN THE WAY companies record worker injuries and illnesses. The Department of Labor will now seek comment on two proposed modifications to new rules that would have gone into effect in January 2002. First, it suggests criteria for work-related hearing loss not be implemented for one year pending further study of what constitutes a "significant" health condition. Second, DOL wants to delay using the rules' definition of MSD and placing an MSD column on the OSHA log for one year.
In addition, OSHA recently decided that the yardstick proposed for determining hearing loss may not be as reliable as previously thought. The agency is preparing to make a final decision on both issues by year-end.
