    (for text effective beginning January 1, 2015, see below)

    (1)  To assure the availability of accurate, timely statistical data concerning occupational health and safety in Oklahoma, all employers as defined in Section 402 of this title shall submit reports, on a form and in a manner prescribed by the Commissioner of Labor.  Reports shall include only those injuries arising from employment within the State of Oklahoma.

    (2)  The Department may exempt from this requirement those classes of employers for whose operations adequate records of safety experience are already available or the Department may exempt any employer from this requirement when, in the judgment of the Commissioner, the submission of annual reports by such employer is not necessary to carry out the purposes of this act and would be an undue burden upon such employer because of size, the nature of its operation or other special circumstances.

    (3)  The Department shall publish each year a detailed summary of the statistical data received from employers.  A copy of such summary shall be available on request to each reporting establishment required to file reports of disabling work injuries and shall be made available to anyone having a legitimate interest in the subject matter of the report.

    (4)  Upon publication of the annual summary, the Commissioner of Labor shall provide to the CompSource Oklahoma President and Chief Executive Officer, upon request, the reports of each employer subject to the provisions of this section, and any derivation, tables or analysis generated by the Department of Labor in the preparation of such summary.
