The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced that establishments with 250 or more employees that are currently required to keep OSHA injury and illness records, and establishments with 20–249 employees that are classified in certain industries with historically high rates of occupational injuries and illnesses, must electronically submit information from their 2017 OSHA Form 300A by July 1, 2018.

Employers can view their submitted CY 2016 Form 300A summary information, but they cannot edit or submit additional 2016 data on this website.
Beginning in 2019 and every year thereafter, covered establishments must submit the information by March 2. Covered establishments with 250 or more employees are only required to provide their 2017 Form 300A summary data. OSHA is not accepting Form 300 and 301 information at this time.

Establishments that meet any of the following criteria (at the establishment level and not the firm as a whole) do not have to send their information to OSHA:

• The establishment’s peak employment during the previous calendar year was 19 or fewer, regardless of the establishment’s industry.
• The establishment’s industry is on this list, regardless of the size of the establishment.
• The establishment had a peak employment between 20 and 249 employees during the previous calendar year and the establishment’s industry is not on this list.

OSHA announced that it will issue a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to reconsider, revise, or remove provisions of the “Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses” final rule, including the collection of the Forms 300/301 data. The agency is currently drafting that NPRM and will seek comment on those provisions.
