Are adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine recordable on the OSHA recordkeeping log?
DOL and OSHA, as well as other federal agencies, are working diligently to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations. OSHA does not wish to have any appearance of discouraging workers from receiving COVID-19 vaccination, and also does not wish to disincentivize employers’ vaccination efforts. As a result, OSHA will not enforce 29 CFR 1904’s recording requirements to require any employers to record worker side effects from COVID-19 vaccination through May 2022. We will reevaluate the agency’s position at that time to determine the best course of action moving forward.
OSHA back-tracked on the April 20th guidance document re: employer reporting injuries/deaths from mandated jabs. They put off enforcing this part, so as not to de-incentivize employer vaccination programs, until at least May 2022. I've been unable to find much on how change impacts employer liability.
I know, and that's what I've been trying to research. I didn't see any changes to the responsibility. The legal websites, which are usually so helpful in explaining the law, are pretty mum about this.
Thanks for the irrelevant “bombshell”… from May.
Why the hell would you post this misleading crap?
Article from May 20, 2021. I believe they reversed this.

You should remove this. So old, this is nonsense. They reversed this decision.
Supreme Court will override this since they are corrupt as fuck.

Here's the 8/13/21 OSHA guidance update. They sound very pro-mandate all of a sudden.
