We want to remind employers that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires posting copies of OSHA Form 300A from February 1 to April 30 each year.
- Establishments with 10 or fewer employees or those classified as low hazard are partially exempt from these recordkeeping requirements.
- Additionally, all employers must notify OSHA if an employee is killed on the job or suffers a work-related hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye.
Form 300A Workplace Posting: February 1 through April 30, 2025
- Covered employers with 11 or more employees at any point in 2024 must post the OSHA Form 300A, Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, from February 1 through April 30. This requirement applies even if there were no recordable incidents in 2024.
- The OSHA Form 300A must be certified by a company executive and posted in a conspicuous location where employee notices are customarily displayed.
- A full list of exempt low-hazard industries, ordered by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, is available for reference.
Form 300A Electronic Submission Due by March 2
- Establishments with 250 or more employees in the prior calendar year, or those with 20-249 employees in certain high-risk industries, must submit their 2024 Form 300A data electronically using OSHA’s online Injury Tracking Application (ITA). The deadline for this submission is March 2, 2025.
- These requirements are based on the number of employees at each physical location, not the total number of employees in the company.
- Most State Plans have identical requirements for private sector employers to submit Form 300A and Forms 300/301 data to Federal OSHA through the ITA.
- Employers do not need to submit Form 300A information if (1) they are partially exempt from OSHA’s routine recordkeeping requirements, (2) they never had 20 or more employees during the previous calendar year regardless of industry, or (3) they had 20-249 employees at some point during the previous calendar year but are not in the required high-risk industries (list).
Additional information, FAQs, and access to the ITA can be found on OSHA’s ITA page.
Form 300 and Form 301 Electronic Submission Required by March 2
- Establishments in designated high-hazard industries with 100 or more employees in the previous calendar year must electronically submit information from their Form 300 (Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses) and Form 301 (Injury and Illness Incident Report) through OSHA’s ITA.
- This requirement is in addition to submitting information from their Form 300A.
Help Determining Coverage
- Employers can utilize the ITA Coverage Application to check if they need to submit their injury and illness data electronically. Alternatively, they should consult the relevant State Plan to understand the reporting requirements.
