Questions:

Recordkeeping – lots of bugs on electronic reporting in the first year. Will still be required. Problems when the government shut down. Does it all have to go in at once or can employers go back in within 30 days to amend/add info? Check osha.gov for guidance

Drones: we have one in our region. We have a compliance officer slicensed to fly the drone. Someone in the regional office manages the program. Haven’t used it yet. Just got it. Same rules apply as any other inspections. Must have a reason to use it, enter the jobsite, etc. OSHA has to request permission to utilize the drone.
