Rancho Mesa Insurance Services, Inc. would like to remind its clients that February 1, 2021 marks the start of the Cal/OSHA Form 300A posting period. The Cal/OSHA Form 300A is a summary of the company's annual work-related injuries and illnesses. It must be posted from February 1, 2021 to April 30, 2021.

The 300A Form must be posted in a conspicuous place at each workplace, where notices to employees are usually displayed. Make sure that the posted annual summary is not altered, defaced, or covered by other material. Employers must send a copy of the summary to employees who do not report to the workplace on a regular weekly basis.

Companies with no recordable injuries or illnesses in 2020 must post the Cal/OSHA Form 300A with zeros on the “total” lines.

According to Cal/OSHA, “If your company had more than ten (10) employees at any time during the last calendar year, you must keep Cal/OSHA injury and illness records unless your establishment is classified as a partially exempt industry under Section 14300.2.”

Through Rancho Mesa's Risk Management Center, clients can generate the Cal/OSHA Form 300A using the incident tracking feature, within the system. The form may also be printed and manually completed.
