OSHA's recent decision not to modify the form that employers use to record workplace injuries and illnesses does not change the current way injuries or illnesses are recorded, nor does it affect an employer's obligation to record work-related injuries, including musculoskeletal disorders, according to OSHA Administrator John Henshaw.
"Employers will continue to check the column for 'injury' or 'all other illness' depending on the circumstances of the case," said Henshaw.
