Beginning January 1, 2015, OSHA’s new rule regarding reporting of fatalities and hospitalizations will go into effect. The new rule requires employers to report to OSHA all work-related fatalities within 8 hours, and all work-related hospitalizations of one or more employees, any amputations or loss of an eye, within 24 hours. Reports should be made by calling the OSHA 24 hour hotline at 1-800-321-OSHA or by their website at www.osha.gov.
