What is OSHA reporting?

OSHA reporting is crucial for ensuring workplace safety by recording and submitting work-related injuries, illnesses, and fatalities to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Data must be submitted electronically through the Injury Tracking Application (ITA) using Forms 300A, 300, and 301. Only establishments that meet specific size and industry criteria are required to report.

With OSHA reporting built into the Investigations feature in SafetyCulture, your organization can streamline how it captures and manages workplace incidents. Easily record reportable incidents by establishment, complete the required OSHA forms for each case, and download logs ready for ITA submission, ensuring your organization stays compliant.

OSHA Form 300A is an annual summary of work-related injuries and illnesses reported across an organization. It provides an overview of the total number of incidents, days away from work, and the types of injuries or illnesses that occurred in the workplace within a given year.

OSHA Form 300 is a detailed log used to track each work-related injury and illness within a given year. It includes critical details for each incident, such as the date and time, the nature or type of the injury or illness, the location, and a description of the incident. This form also captures the incident outcome, including whether the incident resulted in death, days away from work, restricted work activity, or medical treatment.

OSHA Form 301 is an incident report that captures detailed information about each work-related injury or illness. It includes the employee’s personal information, how the incident occurred, and the type of medical treatment provided. This form is typically used together with Form 300 to give a comprehensive view of each incident.

An establishment is a single physical location where businesses conduct operations. In SafetyCulture, you can set up and manage your establishments to get started with OSHA reporting. From a centralized dashboard, you can track total reported incident cases by establishment and monitor key safety metrics such as TRIR, DART, and LTIR that provide valuable insights into your organization's safety performance.

You can also view a dedicated profile for each establishment, where you can access all relevant details, create and track individual cases, and review data on total hours worked and the average number of employees for each filing year, which are used to calculate safety metrics.

Record cases of work-related injuries and illnesses for each establishment as they occur. Capture key incident details and employee information needed to track OSHA Forms 300 and 301 for accurate and compliant reporting.

Easily generate and download completed OSHA Forms 300A, 300, and 301 as CSV files for each establishment to meet annual electronic submission requirements through OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application (ITA) and maintain accurate records for compliance and audits.
