Establishments with 250 or more employees
that are subject to OSHA's recordkeeping regulation must electronically submit to OSHA the information from the Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (OSHA Form 300A).
Establishments with 20-249 employees in
certain high-risk industries must electronically submit to OSHA some of the information from the Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (OSHA Form 300A).
Establishments with fewer than 20 employees at all times during the year do not have to routinely submit information electronically to OSHA.
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.
OSHA will provide a secure website for the electronic submission of information. The website will include web forms for direct data entry and instructions for other means of submission (e.g. file uploads).
