Who must report and what records must be reported? It depends...
- Foundries with <10 employees at all times during the year are exempt from the reporting requirements.
- Foundries with between 11 and 19 employees must maintain the OSHA 300 and 300A forms, but are not required to electronically submit them to the Agency.
- Foundries with 20 or more employees will continue to be required to electronically submit information from their OSHA form 300A summary to the Agency by March 2.
- Foundries with >100 employees must electronically submit information from their OSHA form 300 and 301 to the Agency by March 2.
- Foundries with >10 employees must post their 300A summaries every year by February 1 and may take down the posting anytime after April 30.
- Records must be maintained for at least five years at the worksite.
When is the reporting deadline for these record sets?
Employers must submit their injury and illness information for the previous year no later than March 2.
How do you report your injury and illness information to OSHA?
Employers must electronically submit their required injury and illness information to OSHA via the Agency’s Injury Tracking Application (ITA).
