Abstract:

This document amends 29 CFR Part 1960 to eliminate the present method of recording injuries and illnesses occurring to Federal employees while they are on official time.

These revisions are necessary to provide for OSHA's use of Office of Workers' Compensation Programs data in compiling occupational injury and illness rates in the Federal sector. The effect of these revisions will be to provide more accurate data and to eliminate duplicative recordkeeping and reporting requirements.. This final rule is effective on January 25, 1984.
