Annual OSHA 300A Summary Posting
Deadline: February 1, 2021
OSHA’s 300A Summary form records work-related injuries and illnesses recorded during the calendar year. Employer requirements include maintaining an OSHA 300 injury and illness log throughout the calendar year and summarizing the data on the 300A Summary form. The 300A Summary form should be posted in a prominent location in the workplace from February 1 to April 30, 2021.
It is important to note, employers with 10 or fewer employees, or who work in certain low-hazard industries, are not required to keep OSHA injury and illness records. To see if this applies to you, review the Partially Exempt Industry List.
Annual OSHA 300A Data Electronic Reporting
Deadline: March 2, 2021
For establishments with 250 or more workers (in one location), and establishments with 20-249 employees that are classified in certain industries with historically high rates of occupational injuries and illnesses, are required to electronically submit their 2020 OSHA 300A Summary data to OSHA by March 2, 2021.
You can review the industries with 20-249 employees who are required to electronically submit data to OSHA by visiting the US Department of Labor (USDOL) website. You can begin the submission process by logging into the Injury Tracking Application.
