A. Background
- On June 30, 2003, OSHA issued a final rule amending its occupational safety and
health standard on Occupational Injury and Illness Recording
and Reporting Requirements (29 CFR 1904.12, 29 CFR 1904.26,
and 29 CFR 1904.29). This final rule deletes two provisions
of the Recordkeeping Rule published on January 19, 2001. These
provisions would have required employers to check the musculoskeletal
disorder (MSD) column on the OSHA 300 Log if an employee experienced
a work-related MSD, and stated that MSDs are not considered privacy concern cases.
- On December 2, 2003, the Commissioner of Labor and Industry adopted amendments
to Regulation .02 under COMAR 09.12.21 Employee Injury and Illness Records and Reports.
B. Action
- 29 CFR 1904.12 was never adopted by MOSH, therefore no change.
- 29 CFR 1904.29(b)(7)(vi) should read as follows: (b)(7)(vi) Other illnesses, if the employee
voluntarily requests that his or her name not be entered on the log.
- MOSH Compliance personnel will enforce the adopted changes as provided in Attachments
A and B.
