Form 300A season: know the dates, then prepare the summary.
The Form 300A summary of last year's work-related injuries and illnesses is posted from February 1 through April 30. Establishments that must submit it send it to OSHA electronically by March 2. SafeGora prepares the OSHA 300 log and the 300A summary in your employer workspace for your own review and certification.
Posting and electronic submission.
Posting the Form 300A summary
Establishments that keep OSHA injury and illness records post the annual summary for the previous calendar year no later than February 1 and keep it in place until April 30, where notices to employees are customarily posted. A company executive certifies the summary before it goes up.
29 CFR 1904.32(b)(6)
Electronic submission, where OSHA's criteria apply
Establishments that must submit injury and illness data to OSHA do so electronically by March 2 of the year after the calendar year the forms cover. Whether an establishment must submit depends on OSHA's own criteria, not on this page.
29 CFR 1904.41(c)
We prepare. You file.
The OSHA 300 log
Your team records cases in the employer workspace. SafeGora prepares the 300 log from those records, so the year-end totals come from the same case records.
The Form 300A summary
SafeGora prepares the 300A summary from the log for your own review. A company executive at your organization examines the log and certifies the summary in the workspace. SafeGora does not certify it for you.
Your posting and your filing
You post the certified summary. If OSHA's criteria apply to your establishment, you submit it to OSHA yourself. SafeGora does not post, file or submit on your behalf.
