CFR 127C - Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses

On January 19, 2001 (Federal Register), federal OSHA promulgated the revised final rule, 29 CFR 1904, "Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses". This rule is revised to include interpretive guidance formerly found in the "Blue Book" as well as changes to the recordkeeping forms.

On October 12, 2001 (Federal Register), federal OSHA issued an amendment to the final rule. The amendment delays sections 29 CFR 1904.10, "Recording criteria for cases involving occupational hearing loss" and 29 CFR 1904.12, "Recording criteria for cases involving work-related musculoskeletal disorders" until January 1, 2003.

In accordance with 13 NCAC 7A.0301(b), the N.C. Commissioner of Labor automatically adopted the federal Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses Standard and the subsequent amendment with an effective date of January 1, 2002.
