  • OSHA Announces Suspension of COVID-19 Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements for Health Care Settings
June 27, 2025

Earlier this year, OSHA issued a memorandum announcing an immediate suspension, or “stay,” of its COVID-19 recordkeeping and reporting requirements under 29 CFR 1910.502. This change, effective until further notice, relieves nursing homes, assisted living communities, hospitals, and other health care settings from maintaining a dedicated COVID-19 log or reporting COVID-19 fatalities and hospitalizations as previously required. Facilities can revert to the standard OSHA rules, reporting only work-related COVID-19 fatalities within 30 days of exposure and hospitalizations within 24 hours of exposure. However, facilities must continue to record work-related COVID-19 cases on OSHA Forms 300, 300A, and 301 if they meet the criteria under 29 CFR 1904 (e.g., confirmed cases requiring medical treatment or time off work). Nursing homes are still required to electronically report information about COVID-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) through NHSN.
