The OSHA Act and 29 CFR Part 1904 prescribe that certain employers
maintain records of job related injuries and illnesses. The injury and
illness records are intended to have multiple purposes. One purpose is
to provide data needed by OSHA to carry out enforcement and
intervention activities to provide workers a safe and healthy work
environment. The data are also needed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
to report on the number and rate of occupational injuries and illnesses
The data also provide information for employers and employees of
the kinds of injuries and illnesses occurring in the workplace and
their related hazards. Increased employer awareness should result in
the identification and voluntary correction of hazardous workplace
conditions. Likewise, employees who are provided information on
injuries and illnesses will be more likely to follow safe work
practices and report workplace hazards. This would generally raise the
overall level of safety and health in the workplace.
OSHA currently has approval from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for information collection requirements contained in 29
CFR part 1904. That approval will expire on December 31, 1998, unless
OSHA applies for an extension of the OMB approval. This notice
initiates the process for OSHA to request an extension of the current
OMB approval. This notice also solicits public comment on OSHA's
existing paperwork burden estimates from those interested parties and
to seek public response to several questions related to the development
of OSHA's estimation. Interested parties are requested to review OSHA's
estimates, which are based upon the most current data available, and to
comment on their accuracy or appropriateness in today's workplace
