296-800, 296-305, 296-37, 296-27, 296-24

The purpose of this rulemaking is to change the reporting requirements contained in several chapters to match the reporting requirements in other safety standards administered and enforced by the department. These sections were inadvertently left out of the previous rule filing that changed these requirements. (See WSR 08-05-012). Additionally, the definition of the term “hospitalization” is being clarified to reduce confusion and bring our rules into line with OSHA’s interpretation of the word. The changes were adopted 12/23/2008 and became effective on 3/1/2009.525.
