Episode 4 OSHA’s ITA and New 2024 Regulations
It's Dave here from Mighty Line floor tape, and I'm thrilled to dive into our favorite topic: OSHA record keeping. Today's discussion extends beyond what we covered last week, focusing on the latest updates in OSHA's Injury and Illness Tracking Application (ITA) and how these changes, effective from January 1, 2024, impact your business.
1. Understanding OSHA's ITA and the New 2024 Regulations
OSHA's ITA is a critical tool for certain employers to electronically submit injury and illness data. If you're part of an establishment with 250 or more employees, or in specific high-hazard industries with 20 to 249 employees, you're likely already familiar with this requirement. However, starting in 2024, industries with over 100 employees will also need to report their data electronically via the ITA. This calls for a careful review of the new regulation to ensure compliance.
2. Are You Required to Use the ITA? Here's How to Find Out
Not every employer will need to use the ITA for reporting. OSHA provides an online tool to determine if your firm falls under this requirement. This tool uses the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code applicable to your business, so having this information at hand is essential before you proceed.
3. Alternatives to the ITA: The Role of APIs and Third-Party Systems
For those using third-party systems, there's good news. An Application Programming Interface (API) is permitted as an alternative to the ITA. These systems often offer additional functionalities like generating first reports of injury for workers' compensation purposes.
4. Going Beyond the Basics: Comprehensive Management Systems
Progressive organizations are adopting applications that offer more than just injury and illness tracking. These include incident management, risk assessment, audit management, and even environmental and sustainability tracking. These comprehensive systems can significantly benefit your organization, customers, the public, and the environment.
5. How Mighty Line Can Boost Your Workplace Safety
