Section 8(c)(2) of such Act ( 29 U.S.C. 657(c)(2) ) is amended by adding at the end the following: Such regulations shall contain the following: A requirement that employers promptly notify the Secretary of any work-related death or work-related injury or illness that results in the in-patient hospitalization of any employee for medical treatment, amputation, or loss of an eye. A prohibition on the adoption or implementation by employers of policies or practices that have the effect of discouraging accurate recordkeeping and the reporting of work-related injuries or illnesses by any employee, or in any manner discriminates or provides for adverse action against any employee for reporting a work-related injury or illness.
A requirement that, at a minimum, employers subject to the requirements of sections 1904.41 and 1902.7(d) of title 29, Code of Federal Regulations (as amended by the final regulations of the Department of Labor published in the Federal Register on May 12, 2016 (81 Fed. Reg. 29624 et seq.)) shall, on at least an annual basis, electronically report to the Secretary information from the records of work-related deaths, injuries, and illnesses required to be made and maintained under this paragraph, which shall include the information required to be made and maintained in accordance with such sections 1904.41 and 1902.7(d), and a requirement that the Secretary make such reports available to the public in a searchable format.
A requirement that each site-controlling employer keep, maintain, and make available a site log for all recordable injuries and illnesses occurring for any employee at each work site for which the employer is the site-controlling employer, including employees of the site-controlling employer and others who are performing work at such site (including independent contractors). For purposes of this subparagraph, the term site-controlling employer means the employer that has primary control over a work site at which employees of more than one employer work, such as by hiring or coordinating the work of other employers working at the site. .
