REMINDER
OSHA Electronic Injury Reporting Due March 2nd (Form 300A)
If your establishment is covered by OSHA’s electronic reporting rule, your annual injury and illness data submission is due March 2nd through OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application (ITA).
What Is OSHA Form 300A
OSHA Form 300A is the “Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses” for a given calendar year. It summarizes all individual incident reports submitted during the year, including the total number of cases, days away from work, days on job transfer or restriction, and the types of incidents that occurred.
OSHA Form 300A - Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses
Employers are required to post Form 300A in a visible workplace location from February 1st through April 30th so that employees can review the company’s safety record.
Who Has to Submit OSHA Form 300A
OSHA requires certain employers to electronically submit Form 300A data each year through the ITA. The rule applies to:
- Establishments with 250 or more employees that are already required to keep OSHA injury and illness records; and
- Establishments with 20 to 249 employees in specified high-risk industries (based on NAICS code).
Not sure if your establishment is covered? Use OSHA’s ITA Coverage Application to check.
Expanded Reporting for High-Hazard Industries
Since 2024, establishments with 100 or more employees in designated high-hazard industries must also electronically submit data from OSHA Form 300 (Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses) and OSHA Form 301 (Injury and Illness Incident Report). This includes the date, work location, and severity of each case; information about the injured employee; and a description of how the incident occurred.
How to Submit
Submissions must be made through OSHA’s ITA, either by:
- Completing the ITA webform for each establishment, or
- Uploading a batch CSV file covering multiple establishments.
Each submission must include the establishment’s legal company name.
Establishment Size vs. Employer Size
The electronic reporting rule applies to individual establishments (worksites), not to the employer as a whole. An employer with multiple locations may find that some establishments are covered and others are not.
To determine if the rule applies, count peak employment at each establishment during the calendar year, including full-time, part-time, and temporary workers.
