OSHA has proposed to revise the recordkeeping forms and attendant 
requirements for occupational injury and illness recording and 
reporting (29 CFR 1904 & 1952)  

This proposal was published on 2 February 1996 in the Federal Register 
(V.61 No. 23, p. 4030-4067).  OSHA's intent in this proposal is to 
simplify recordkeeping, improve information concerning occupational 
illnesses and injuries, increase utilization of records on-site, increase 
use of computers, and improve employee awareness.

IPC's Safety & Health Subcommittee is reviewing the proposal and will 
submit comments on behalf of the industry.  IPC welcomes your input.  For 
a copy of the full OSHA proposal, please contact Star Summerfield at IPC
