Home » OSHA citations serve as reminder to employers about recordkeeping and reporting obligations
In October , the Office of Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced that since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has cited 144 establishments for COVID-19-related violations, totaling over two million dollars in penalties. These citations included violations for failure to report injuries, illnesses, or fatalities, and failure to record injuries or illness. OSHA’s recent enforcement activity serves as a reminder to employers across all industries of the obligation to record work-related COVID-19-related infections, hospitalizations and fatalities. An employer’s failure to comply with OSHA’s recordkeeping and reporting requirements could result in significant penalties.
