Employers Prepare to Submit OSHA Form 300A
Author, Lauren Stumpf, Media Communications & Client Services Specialist, Rancho Mesa Insurance Services, Inc.
The time is here for you to submit your company’s OSHA 300A Form. The OSHA 300A Form is a company’s summary of work-related injuries and illnesses within a given year. Employers must electronically submit their 2022 OSHA Form 300A data to Federal OSHA by March 2, 2023.
Along with electronically submitting the data, the form must also be posted in the workplace, in a place visible to employees from February 1st to April 30th. To ensure employee confidentiality, the Form 300A does not include personal information such as employee names.
According to OSHA, establishments with 20 to 249 employees in designated industries are required to submit the 300A data. Establishments with 250 or more employees that are required to keep OSHA injury and illness records must also submit the data.
Companies under Federal OSHA jurisdiction can use the ITA Coverage Application to determine if they are required to electronically report their injury and illness information to OSHA. Establishments under State Plan jurisdiction should contact their State Plan.
There are three options for injury and illness data submissions. You can manually enter your data, upload a CSV file to add multiple establishments at the same time, or transmit data electronically via an API (application programming interface).
OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application (ITA) is using a new login format for submitting the Form 300A data. Those who have used the old login in previous years will need to make a new Login.gov account using their same email address in order to access the application for the 2023 collection of Calendar Year 2022 Form 300A data.
For additional information and detailed instructions on creating a new account, please visit OSHA’s Injury and Reporting webpage.
If Rancho Mesa clients have entered their 2022 incidents in the Risk Management Center, they will be able to generate their 300A Summary along with the .CSV file to upload to the Federal OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application website. Please refer to our video for instructions on how to do this.
