As 2015 begins, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is sharpening its emphasis on inspecting and citing employers who violate its record keeping standard. This takes on greater importance because of the changes and new reporting requirements that became effective on January 1, 2015.

Following preliminary results from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2013 National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries indicating that 4,405 workers were killed on the job in 2013, important changes affecting all US employers were announced which require employers to report all work-related fatalities, in-patient hospitalisations, amputations, and losses of an eye. These reporting requirements apply to all employers under the OSHA jurisdiction, even those exempt from record-keeping requirements due to company size or industry. Previously, OSHA only required employers to report work-related fatalities and hospitalisations involving three or more employees.

The main amendments may be categorised as falling into the following 4 areas:
