Contractors Must Post OSHA Form 300A Data by Feb. 1

January 23, 2019

Employers covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s recordkeeping rule are required to post their 2018 OSHA Form 300A work-related injury and illness log summaries in an area where notices to employees are typically posted from Feb. 1 through April 30. The form must be posted in a visible spot at each covered establishment.
 
The summaries, which list the total number of job-related injuries and illnesses that occurred in 2018 and were logged on the employer’s OSHA Form 300A, must be certified by a company executive prior to posting and display. Employment information about the average number of employees and total hours worked during the calendar year is also required. 
 
Companies with no recorded injuries or illnesses in 2018 must still post the form, with zeros on the total line. Additionally, employers with 10 or fewer employees or those in certain industries may be exempt from OSHA record keeping requirements. 

Information on electronic submission of the OSHA 2018 Form 300A through OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application can be found here.
