ASSE submitted comments to OSHA on proposed changes to reporting rules in Section 1904.39 -- Reporting Fatality, In-Patient Hospitalization, and Amputation Incidents to OSHA. ASSES says that "[d]espite what we view as a good faith intention on OSHA’s part to more definitively understand and respond to particularly significant workplace deaths and injuries, ASSE does not believe, given OSHA’s current resources and the practical difficulties employers face in reporting, that the enhanced reporting requirements proposed in this rulemaking will result in the kind of improved safety that OSHA intends."
