The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers with more than 10 employees to keep a record of serious work-related injuries and illnesses.i Employers may utilize OSHA’s ITA Coverage Application to determine whether they are required to comply.  

OSHA requires that records of illness and injury be maintained at the employer’s worksite for at least five years. Each February 1st through April 30th, employers are required to post a summary of the injuries and illnesses recorded during the previous year. Data submissions began January 2, 2025. The completed summary must be prominently displayed at any worksite location where employee notices are typically provided. Also, if requested, copies of these records must be provided to current and former employees, or their representatives. 

OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application (ITA) Information webpage provides useful information, guidance and resources to assist with the electronic submission of workplace injury and illness data from the OSHA Form 300A: Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, OSHA Form 300: Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, and OSHA Form 301: Injury and Illness Incident Report (Forms).  

OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application (ITA) webpage, allows employers the option of manually entering their data into the ITA via a web form, uploading a CSV file to the ITA, or transmitting data electronically via an API (application programming interface).
