The December 15, 2020, update reflects a one-time increase in case data. This increase is due to a migration from a manually-entered tracking system to the automated database, after enhancements were made to the automated system to more accurately track COVID-19 cases. OSHA's enhanced automated database system will allow the agency to report whistleblower complaint information in a more efficient and comprehensive manner.
