As numerous states begin to reopen, the U.S. Department of
Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
recently announced a revised
recordkeeping
enforcement memorandum, effective May 26, 2020, that outlines
when employers must record COVID-19 cases as a work-related
illness. This revised guidance replaces OSHA's previous April
2020 memorandum and removes the relaxed application of the
agency's recordkeeping requirements contained therein. Thus,
OSHA's prior, noticeably more stringent requirements apply as
of May 26, 2020. OSHA has also updated its Interim Enforcement
Response Plan for Coronavirus to reflect the updated
enforcement guidance, and indicated that the agency is increasing
in-person inspections at all types of workplaces.
