*Electronic Filing Instructions
Documents for filing or for service by email must be sent to our general email box:
NCOSHRC@oshrc.labor.nc.gov and to the email of any party that would normally be served, if possible. Make the email address of any party being served visible in the address section of your email as well as in the document’s Certificate of Service at the time the filing email is sent to the NC OSH Review Commission.
Documents will be deemed filed on the date sent unless on weekends or holidays, in which case they will be deemed filed on the first OSH Review Commission business day thereafter.
Ex: A document filed at 11:59pm on Wednesday September 1 would be filed on September 1. A document filed on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend would be deemed filed on the Tuesday after Labor Day.
The subject line of filing emails should include:
- The NC OSH Review Commission’s docket number
- Respondent Employer’s name as stated in the Notice of Docketing
- The title of document being filed; example:
Subject: 2025-6703; Caliber Holdings of North Carolina LLC dba Caliber Collision—Respondent’s First Requests for Admissions to Complainant
In the filename of documents emailed to the OSH Review Commission, include the title of the pleading, motion, or document to be filed or served, the Review Commission’s docket number, and the full name of the Respondent Employer, example:
Notice of Docketing 2024-6671 Roof Express LLC.pdf
Filling of documents too large to attach and send via e-mail:
In the body of a filing email sent to NCOSHRC@oshrc.labor.nc provide your own download link to the document stored in your online file storage. OSH Review Commission staff must not be required to register or create an account with your file storage provider in order to download.
Or, request a “Sharefile” upload link from the Docket Administrator, Karissa Sluss, by writing to NCOSHRC@oshrc.labor.nc.gov, and upload documents to the link she provides.
Cover Letters
It is not necessary to include a cover letter with a filing. Instead, please state any necessary or relevant information in the body of the email message. If a cover letter is submitted, attach it to the filing email separately from the document being filed.
Confirmation Response
Within 24 hours of submission of an e-filed document (allow at least 48 hours for weekends or holidays) OSH Review Commission staff will response with confirmation of receipt (Usually a reply email that says "Received"). If you do not receive a response email confirmation after that time, you must email to request confirmation of filing. If filing by email, it is your responsibility to get confirmation of filing.
Filing of Settlement Agreements
When settlement agreements have been signed by all the parties and are ready for the Hearing Examiner’s signature, submit the entire settlement package via email to NCOSHRC@oshrc.labor.nc.gov.
- Attach the Stipulation, Notice of Settlement, and Consent Order with all pages submitted/filed as a singular document.
- Attach the Certificate of Posting as a separate document to the same email as the Stipulation, Notice of Settlement, and Consent Order.
