OSHA form 300A posting requirements begin Feb. 1

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers subject to its recordkeeping requirements to post copies of their OSHA Form 300A between Feb. 1 and April 30 of each year.

The OSHA Form 300A, also known as the “Summary of Work-related Injuries and Illnesses,” must be completed by Feb. 1 using data from the previous calendar year.

As a reminder, OSHA’s recordkeeping requirement does not apply to employers with 10 or fewer employees, or to employers that are in a partially exempt industry.

Highlights

  • Employers must post their OSHA 300A for the 2023 calendar year by Feb. 1, 2024.
  • The form must remain on display until April 30.
  • Employers subject to OSHA’s electronic reporting requirement will need to submit information from their OSHA 300A form by March 2.
Annual summaries must be posted in each establishment in a conspicuous place or places where notices are customarily posted.
