Attention: Not all establishments are covered by this reporting requirement. Only a small fraction of establishments is required to electronically submit information from their OSHA injury and illness recordkeeping forms to OSHA. Establishments under Federal OSHA jurisdiction can use the ITA Coverage Application to determine if they are required to electronically report their injury and illness information to OSHA. Establishments under State Plan jurisdiction should directly contact their State Plan.
Establishments that meet any of the following criteria DO NOT have to electronically report their information to OSHA. Remember, these criteria apply at the establishment level, not to the firm as a whole.
- 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 Appendix A to Subpart B of OSHA’s recordkeeping regulation, 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 Appendix A to Subpart E of OSHA’s recordkeeping regulation.
- Certain establishments must electronically submit to OSHA detailed information about each recordable injury and illness entered on their previous calendar year's OSHA 300 Log and 301 Incident Report forms (29 CFR 1904.41). 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.
- Only establishments with 100 or more employees in designated industries are required to submit case-specific information from the OSHA Form 300 Log and the OSHA Form 301 Incident Report.
- Establishments that had a peak employment of 100 or more employees during the previous calendar year meet this size criteria.
- The designated industries are listed in Appendix B to Subpart E of 29 C.F.R. Part 1904.
- One way to determine if your establishment(s) is required to report these data is by using our ITA Coverage Application.
- The requirements apply to establishments covered by Federal OSHA, as well as establishments covered by states with their own occupational safety and health programs (i.e., State Plans).
- The data must be electronically submitted through OSHA's Injury Tracking Application (ITA). There are 3 ways to submit the data: (1) webform on the ITA, (2) submission of a csv file to the ITA, or (3) use of an application programming interface (API) feed. The ITA will begin accepting 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 the deadline for timely submission of the previous year's injury and illness data will be on March 2 of each year.
