You are not required to submit updated information after your original submission, but you may do so if you wish. (Note that you are required to update your OSHA Form 300 to reflect the new information). To edit the data follow these steps:

1. Login to the ITA and choose View Establishment List
2. Click on the establishment name link of the facility you want to edit
3. Click on Edit 300A Summary
4. Make your changes and save them
5. Re-submit the data.

Yes, the ITA will accept your Form 300A data through the end of the calendar year (December 31). You must electronically submit the data if you are required to do so.

No. If you no longer own the establishment, you are not required to submit injury and illness data for that establishment. Only the current owner is required to submit data for the portion of the year that they owned the establishment

Yes, establishments that meet the size and industry reporting criteria must report their Form 300A data even if they experienced no recordable injuries or illnesses during the reference year. Those establishments would report zeroes for their injury and illness counts.

No. If the establishment is permanently closed, you do not have to submit the injury and illness data. For example, an establishment that permanently closed at the end of 2016 does not have to submit the 2016 data in 2017. Similarly, an establishment that permanently closed in 2017 before the 2017 submission deadline does not have to submit the 2016 data in 2017.

The electronic reporting requirements are based on the size of the establishment, not the firm. The OSHA injury and illness records are maintained at the establishment level. An establishment is defined as a single physical location where business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed. A firm may be comprised of one or more establishments. To determine if you need to provide OSHA with the required data for an establishment, you need to determine the establishment's peak employment during the last calendar year. Each individual employed in the establishment at any time during the calendar year counts as one employee, including full-time, part-time, seasonal, and temporary workers.

The electronic reporting requirements are based on the industry classification of the establishment, not the industry classification of the firm. An establishment is defined as a single physical location where business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed. A firm may be comprised of one or more establishments.

The recording and reporting requirements of Part 1904 are establishment based. Under most circumstances, a campus is a single physical location and considered as a single establishment. Under limited conditions, you may consider two or more separate facilities that share a single location to be separate establishments. You may divide one location into two or more establishments only when: 1) each facility represents a distinctly separate business; 2) each facility is engaged in a different economic activity; 3) no one industry description applies to the joint activities of the establishments; and 4) separate reports are routinely prepared for each establishment concerning each establishment's number of employees, employee wage and salary rates, sales or receipts, and other business information.

A firm with more than one establishment must submit establishment-specific 300A data for each establishment that meets the size and industry reporting criteria. These data may be submitted using one ITA account. It is important to note that the electronic reporting requirements are for data at the establishment level, not the firm level. An establishment is defined as a single physical location where business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed. A firm may be comprised of one or more establishments. The submitted data must be specific for each individual establishment.

Yes, just as a third party is allowed to maintain the injury and illness records for an employer, a third party is allowed to submit the data for that employer. However, as with recordkeeping, responsibility for the completeness and accuracy of the data lies with the employer, not the third party.

No. OSHA has provided a secure website for the electronic submission of information. The website includes web forms for direct data entry and instructions for other means of submission (e.g., csv file uploads).

Yes, you do need to provide both agencies with the required data through their separate collection vehicles. OSHA and the BLS are working to minimize the burden on employers that are required to respond to both data collections. Reporting your data to OSHA does not satisfy your requirement if you have also been asked to report to the BLS Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII). However, if you have already reported your data to OSHA, you can use your OSHA ID number from that reporting to automatically transfer into the BLS SOII collection application the data that you have reported to OSHA. To do so, use the credentials that BLS sent to you to logon on to the SOII Internet Data Collection Facility. Once logged on, follow instructions there when asked to enter your OSHA ID to transfer your data from OSHA to BLS. Depending on the injuries and illnesses at your establishment, you may be required to report additional details to the BLS SOII. For more information regarding reporting to the BLS SOII, see the BLS Information for Respondents page or contact BLS.

State-government and local-government establishments in State Plans states are required to electronically submit injury and illness information. Please contact your State Plan office for further information.

No. You only need to submit data from your Forms 300 and 301 if: (1) your establishment had 100 or more employees at any time during the previous calendar year, and (2) your establishment is classified in an industry listed in Appendix B to Subpart E of Part 1904. Appendix B includes a list of industries with elevated injury and illness rates. OSHA will provide an ITA Coverage Application to help establishments determine whether they have to comply with these new requirements. Establishments that meet the submission requirements and are located in states with their own occupational safety and health programs (i.e., State Plans) are also required to submit data under this rule.

All the establishments required to submit information from their OSHA Form 300 Log and OSHA Form 301 Incident Report to OSHA under this rule are already required to submit information from their OSHA Form 300A Annual Summary. In other words, the establishments covered under the final rule already have the experience and the ability to submit data to OSHA electronically.

You must submit detailed information about each recordable injury and illness that was entered on your previous calendar year's OSHA 300 and 301 Forms. This includes the date, physical location, and severity of the injury or illness; details about the worker who was injured; and details about how the injury or illness occurred.

No. You are required to submit all of the information from the forms except the following:

1. Employee name (column B) of the Form 300 Log; and
2. Employee name (field 1), employee address (field 2), name of physician or other health care professional (field 6), and facility name and address if treatment was given away from the worksite (field 7) of the Form 301 Incident Report.

You can start submitting your 2023 injury and illness data on January 2, 2024. The due date to complete this submission is March 2, 2024. The submission requirement is annual, and you must complete the submission of the previous year's injury and illness data on March 2 of each year.

You must submit the data electronically through OSHA's Injury Tracking Application (ITA). There are 3 ways you can submit the data: (1) webform on the ITA, or (2) submission of a csv file to the ITA, or (3) use of an application programming interface (API) feed. The file format specifications for csv and API submission are available at "How do I submit my establishment data?" on the ITA launch page.

There are two main categories of benefits for worker safety and health: 1) benefits through use of the data by OSHA; and 2) benefits through use of the data by other interested parties.

• Benefits to OSHA: Access to establishment-specific, case-specific injury and illness data will help the agency identify establishments with specific hazards. This will enable the agency to interact directly with these establishments, through enforcement and/or outreach activities, to address and abate the hazards. These same data will allow OSHA to better analyze injury trends related to specific industries, processes or hazards.
• Benefits to interested parties: Public access to establishment-specific, case-specific injury and illness data will allow employers, employees, potential employees, employee representatives, customers, potential customers, and the general public to make more informed decisions about workplace safety and health at a given establishment. In addition, researchers will be better able to identify patterns of injuries, illnesses, and hazardous conditions in workplaces. OSHA believes that this access will ultimately result in the reduction of occupational injuries and illnesses.

OSHA estimates approximately 50,000 establishments will be required to submit their case-specific injury and illness data. OSHA estimates they will submit information on approximately 750,000 injury and illness cases annually. Focusing the requirements on establishments with 100 or more employees in higher hazard industries means that fewer than one percent of establishments in the country will submit additional data, but the injury and illness data submitted by those establishments will comprise nearly 30% of all reportable occupational injuries and illnesses.

Yes, OSHA will make most of the data submitted under these new requirements available to the public. OSHA will take multiple steps to protect the identity of the injured or ill worker.

OSHA will protect worker privacy by taking the following steps:

• OSHA will not collect worker names and addresses;
• OSHA will convert birth dates to age and discard birth dates;
• OSHA will remind employers not to submit information that could directly identify workers, such as names, addresses, telephone numbers, etc.;
• OSHA will withhold from publication the information on age, gender, date hired, and whether the worker was treated in an emergency room and/or hospitalized overnight as an in-patient;
• OSHA will use automated information technology to detect and remove any remaining information that could directly identify workers.

Yes.

Yes, you do need to submit the required data to both agencies through their separate collection vehicles. Submitting your data to OSHA does not satisfy your requirement if you have also been asked to submit to the BLS Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII). OSHA and the BLS are working to minimize the burden on employers that are required to respond to both data collections.
