Posting Deadline for OSHA 300A Form is February 1

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates that all employers who are required to maintain the OSHA 300 Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses post a summary of the previous year’s log each year, even if no incidents occurred in the preceding calendar year. The posting deadline for  the OSHA 300A form (summary form) is February 1. The form must be certified by a company executive and posted in a conspicuous location where notices to employees are customarily posted.

All employers who had more than ten employees at any point during the last calendar year are covered by this requirement unless they qualify as part of an exempt low-risk industry. A full list of the industries exempt from OSHA routine recordkeeping requirements (including posting Form 300A) can be found here.

The OSHA Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (Form 300), Summary (Form 300A) and Instructions can be downloaded here.

New this year: electronic reporting begins. The OSHA 300A form will need to be submitted online to OSHA by July 1. We will send out an update closer to this deadline with instructions for submitting the form online as OSHA has not yet released full details of this procedure.
