OSHA Form 300A Workplace Posting Begins February 1
Beginning February 1, 2026, covered employers with 11 or more employees at any point during 2025 are required to post the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Form 300A, Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses.
This summary must remain posted through April 30, 2026, in a conspicuous location where employee notices are customarily placed. Even if no recordable incidents occurred in 2025, the posting requirement still applies.
To comply, Form 300A must be certified by a company executive before posting. Certification confirms the accuracy of the information and reflects executive acknowledgment of the reported data.
Exemptions from OSHA Form 300A Posting
Certain employers are partially exempt from OSHA’s recordkeeping requirements. Exemptions apply to:
- Companies with 10 or fewer employees.
- Establishments primarily engaged in low-hazard industries, as classified by OSHA.
A complete list of exempt low-hazard industries, organized by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, can be found here.
It’s important to note that this exemption is partial. Even exempt employers must still report to OSHA any work-related:
- Fatality
- Hospitalization
- Amputation
- Loss of an eye
Electronic Submission of OSHA Form 300A Data Due by March 2
For covered establishments, electronic submission of Form 300A data for the 2025 calendar year must be completed by March 2, 2026, using OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application (ITA).
Electronic reporting requirements are based on each individual establishment, not total company headcount.
What Covered Establishments Must Submit OSHA Form 300A Data Electronically?
- Establishments with 250 or more employees in the prior calendar year.
- Establishments with 20–249 employees that operate in high-risk industries.
Electronic reporting is determined based on the size of each physical establishment, not the total number of employees across the entire company. Employers covered by a State Plan must also use the ITA to send data electronically
Who Is Exempt from OSHA Form 300A Electronic Submission?
Employers do not need to submit Form 300A information electronically if:
- They are partially exempt from OSHA’s recordkeeping requirements
- They never had 20 or more employees during the previous calendar year, regardless of industry
- They had 20–249 employees, but are not included on OSHA’s list of high-hazard industries
Additional resources, FAQs, and the ITA portal are available on OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application page.
Expanded Electronic Reporting for High-Hazard Industries
Covered establishments in designated high-hazard industries that had 100 or more employees during the prior calendar year must submit additional information electronically by March 2, 2026.
This expanded reporting includes:
- Form 300 – Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses
- Form 301 – Injury and Illness Incident Report
These submissions are required in addition to the standard Form 300A data.
Tools to Help Determine Coverage
Not sure whether your establishment is required to submit injury and illness data electronically? Employers can use OSHA’s ITA Coverage Application to confirm their reporting obligations. Employers operating in State Plan states should also review applicable state-specific requirements, which may differ from federal OSHA rules.
