INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING GRANTEE QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORTS

I. FREQUENCY OF REPORTING

A Grantee Quarterly Progress Report (OSHA 171 and Narrative Report) is to be completed for each grant at the end of each Federal fiscal quarter. Federal fiscal quarters end on December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30. Two copies of each report are to be received by the Regional Office administering the grant no later than the thirtieth of the month following the end of the Federal fiscal quarter, i.e., January 30, April 30, July 30, and October 30.

II. TIME PERIOD COVERED BY REPORTS

Reports will cover only the activities conducted during the quarter for which the report is being submitted.

III. RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS

Grantees are required to keep records to support the information contained in the Grantee Quarterly Progress Report. These records need not be extensive. For example, a sign-in sheet for participants at a training session that shows whether the participant is an employee or an employer and notes the date, location, subject and scheduled beginning and ending time of the session is sufficient documentation. Records must be kept for three years after grant closeout or final audit, whichever is later.

IV. METHOD OF REPORTING

Grantees are not required to use form OSHA 171. They may submit the information in any format so long as the required information is included (i.e., for each training session the date, location, length, and numbers attending broken out between employee and employer.) Grantees may also make arrangements with the Regional Office administering their grant to use electronic means to transmit the report to OSHA.
