Each year, certain employers are required to submit workplace injury and illness data to OSHA through the Injury Tracking Application (ITA). These reports help OSHA monitor safety trends, identify high-risk workplaces, and strengthen worker protection efforts.

2026 OSHA Electronic Submission Deadline

Employers must electronically submit 2025 injury and illness data by March 2, 2026.
The Injury Tracking Application opened on January 2, 2026, and submissions are currently being accepted.

Who Is Required to Submit OSHA Injury and Illness Data?

Electronic reporting applies to:

• Establishments with 100 or more employees in designated high-hazard industries, which must submit detailed data from OSHA Forms 300 (Log) and 301 (Incident Report)

• Establishments with 250 or more employees that are required to keep OSHA records, which must submit Form 300A (Annual Summary)

• Establishments with 20–249 employees in certain high-risk industries, which must also submit Form 300A

OSHA provides an ITA Coverage Application to help employers determine whether they are required to report.

What Forms Are Included in the Submission?

Depending on employer size and industry classification, annual submissions may include:

• Form 300A - Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses

• Form 300 - Detailed log of recordable incidents

• Form 301 - Individual incident reports

Larger employers in high-hazard industries must submit case-specific injury and illness details, including injury severity and how the incident occurred.

Posting Requirement: February 1 through April 30, 2026

All employers required to keep OSHA records must post the 2025 OSHA Form 300A Summary in a visible workplace location from February 1 through April 30, 2026.

Even if no injuries or illnesses occurred in 2025, employers must still complete, certify, and post Form 300A.

Executive Certification Required

The OSHA Form 300A must be reviewed and certified by an executive official, confirming the accuracy of reported data. This requirement applies even when an employer reports zero recordable incidents.

Why OSHA Collects This Data

OSHA uses injury and illness data to:

• Identify high-risk employers and industries

• Improve enforcement and safety outreach

• Track injury trends nationwide

• Increase workplace safety transparency

OSHA also protects employee privacy by excluding names, converting birthdates to age, and withholding personally identifiable information.
