In an effort to identify and correct under-recorded and incorrectly recorded workplace injuries, OSHA has issued a new National Emphasis Program (NEP) establishing enforcement procedures to inspect the accuracy of the occupational injury and illness recording and reporting requirements for low rate establishments in selected industries. This NEP also complements the Bureau of Labor Statistics' efforts to investigate factors accounting for differences in the number of workplace injuries and illnesses estimated by the BLS and other data sources. The directive establishing the NEP is available here: http://www.osha.gov/OshDoc/Directive_pdf/CPL_02_09-08.pdf

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is proposing to modify its existing Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to conform with the United Nations' (UN) Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). OSHA has made a preliminary determination that the proposed modifications will improve the quality and consistency of information provided to employers and employees regarding chemical hazards and associated protective measures. OSHA anticipates this improved information will enhance the effectiveness of the HCS in ensuring that employees are apprised of the chemical hazards to which they may be exposed, and in reducing the incidence of chemical-related occupational illnesses and injuries. The proposed rule is available here: http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/pdf/E9-22483.pdf
