ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ Outlines Concerns of Construction Industry in Letter
This week, ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ delivered a to the House Education and the Workforce Committee for a hearing that examined the Occupational Safety & Health Administration’s (OSHA) rule on Improved Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses. ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ is concerned the rule will significantly limit how employers are able to enforce policies that have been established to ensure timely reporting of incidents, as well as implement and enforce other safety and health policies. The rule could discourage employers from administering post-accident drug testing, and the rule would also place employer safety incentive programs in jeopardy.
The committee hearing highlighted many of ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½â€™s concerns, and ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ is evaluating options for employers to comply with the rule as it’s fully implemented over the next several years.
