New Workplace Injury Reporting Rules: Longer Time for Error Correction.

This act aims to make it easier for employees to assert their rights in case of workplace accidents. It changes the rules for reporting work-related injuries and illnesses, giving employers an ongoing duty to maintain accurate records. This means that even if an employer initially failed to report an incident, they can still be held accountable for not having proper documentation.
Key points
Employers now have an ongoing duty to maintain accurate records of workplace injuries and illnesses.
Even if an employer failed to create necessary records initially, their duty to maintain them does not expire.
Authorities have more time to issue citations to employers who do not keep proper records.
