The ITA will allow users to electronically submit required injury and illness data from their completed 2016 OSHA Form 300A, and thus comply with the December 1, 2017 compliance deadline.

In May of 2016, OSHA published the new injury and illness reporting rule, known as “Improved Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses.”

A common dilemma that many employers face is not if an electronic Safety Data Sheet (SDS) management system is for them, but rather, what OSHA requires if they use one.

OSHA believes that public disclosure will encourage employers to improve workplace safety and provide valuable information to workers, job seekers, customers, researchers and the general public.
