Many employers are now asking whether they must record cases of COVID-19 on their Occupational Safety and Health Administration 300 Logs or report the cases to OSHA.

ABC general counsel Littler Mendelson P.C. has written an article that covers the following questions:

• Is COVID-19 Considered an “Illness” Under OSHA’s Recordkeeping Rules?
• When Is a COVID-19 Case Considered Recordable?
• When Is a COVID-19 Case Reportable?

Read the Littler analysis here.

Additional information can be found on the OSHA webpage.

ABC is aware of concerns expressed by ABC members on this issue.  Staff will continue to work with OSHA and provide future updates.
