OSHA Form 300A Workplace Posting Begins February 1
Beginning February 1, 2025, covered employers with 11 or more employees at any point in 2024 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 in a conspicuous location where employee notices are customarily placed. Even if no recordable incidents occurred in 2024, this posting is mandatory.
To comply, Form 300A must be certified by a company executive before posting. Certification underscores the accuracy of reported data and reflects an executive’s acknowledgment of the report’s contents.
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’s guidelines. You can find a full list of exempt low-hazard industries, ordered by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, here.
Please note that this exemption is “partial” because while these employers may be exempt from routine recordkeeping, they are still required to notify OSHA of serious incidents such as work-related fatalities, hospitalizations, amputations, or eye loss.
Electronic Submission of OSHA Form 300A Data Due by March 2
For covered establishments, electronic submission of Form 300A data for the 2024 calendar year must be completed by March 2, 2025, using OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application (ITA). The requirements depend on establishment size and industry classification:
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 that meet any of the following criteria do not have end Form 300A information to OSHA:
- They are partially exempt from OSHA’s recordkeeping requirements.
- They had fewer than 20 employees at all times during the previous calendar year, regardless of industry.
- They had between 20 and 249 employees at some point during the previous calendar year but are NOT on OSHA’s list of high-risk industries.
Additional resources, FAQs, and the ITA portal can be found on OSHA’s ITA page.
Expanded Electronic Reporting for High-Hazard Industries
Covered establishments in designated high-hazard industries with 100 or more employees in the prior calendar year must also submit additional data electronically by March 2, 2025. This includes:
- Information from their Form 300, Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses.
- Information from their 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 if your establishment needs to submit data? Employers can use OSHA’s ITA Coverage Application to clarify their electronic submission requirements. Additionally, those in State Plan jurisdictions should consult their State Plan for any variations in reporting obligations.
