VelocityEHS Preparing Employers for OSHA’s New ITA Submission Process Ahead of December 1 Deadline
November 08 2017 - 8:30AM
VelocityEHS, the global leader in cloud environment, health, safety
(EHS) and sustainability software, is offering a free guide and
webinar to help EHS professionals understand their responsibilities
under OSHA’s recent Electronic Reporting Rule, and how to use the
agency’s new Injury Tracking Application (ITA) to submit
Recordkeeping data online. The deadline for employers covered by
the rule to upload their information via the ITA is December 1,
2017.
The “OSHA ITA Cheat Sheet” from VelocityEHS offers a complete
overview of key requirements and submission deadlines – which will
change in 2018 and then again in 2019 – and can be downloaded at no
cost here.
VelocityEHS is also offering a live webinar that reviews the ITA
submission process. The free session, titled “OSHA Injury Tracking
Application (ITA): Understanding Reporting Obligations by the
December 1, 2017 Deadline,” will be held on November 16, 2017 from
11 a.m. to 12 p.m. EDT and address the most common questions
employers have about submitting information and editing the data
once it is uploaded to the ITA.
“When it comes to OSHA’s ITA, and the Electronic Reporting rule
in general, many employers are still confused about what
information they are required to submit, how to submit it and by
when,” said Glenn Trout, president and CEO of VelocityEHS. “The
last thing we want to see is companies out of compliance because
they didn’t understand their obligations. Our new OSHA ITA Cheat
Sheet makes it easy to understand the key requirements and
submission deadlines of the new rule, while our webinar provides
safety professionals with a safe place to ask questions and see how
technology can help them simplify their OSHA Recordkeeping
responsibilities overall.”
EHS management software – like the VelocityEHS Incident
Management solution – significantly streamlines the electronic
reporting process by generating properly formatted injury and
illness summary reports for instant electronic submission to the
ITA. Furthermore, the simple-to-use VelocityEHS Mobile App allows
workers to instantly report incidents, near misses and hazards as
they occur – with or without internet connectivity – via a
smartphone or tablet device. With a more robust system in place,
employers can rest assured knowing the information being submitted
is accurate and being correctly submitted to the ITA.
