OSHA Injury and Illness Data Submission Deadline

Back in 2023, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) amended its regulations requiring establishments of a certain size and in certain designated industries to electronically submit information from their Forms 300, 300A, and 301 to OSHA once a year. Under the final rule, which became effective January 1, 2024, the following establishments must electronically submit information from their injury and illness recordkeeping forms to OSHA.

"YOU MUST submit 300A data if your establishment meets one of the following criteria:

1. 250 or more employees and is not in an industry listed in the Exempt Industries list in Appendix A to Subpart B of OSHA’s recordkeeping regulation of 29 CFR Part 1904, or
2. 20-249 employees and is in an industry listed in Appendix A to Subpart E of 29 CFR Part 1904.

YOU MUST also submit 300/301 data if your establishment(s) has 100 or more employees and is in an industry listed in Appendix B to Subpart E of 29 CFR Part 1904.”

Use OSHA’s tool to find out if you have electronic reporting requirements.
