Beginning August 1, 2017, the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration’s (OSHA) new electronic portal,
the Injury Tracking Application (ITA), will be accessible for employers to file
web-based reports of workplace injuries or illnesses. OSHA’s secure website
offers several different options for how employers submit the data
electronically.
Under OSHA’s electronic record keeping rule, covered
companies with at least 250 employees must submit information electronically
from:
•OSHA Form 300 (Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses)
•OSHA Form 300A (Summary of Work-Related Injuries and
Illnesses)
•OSHA Form 301 (Injury and Illness Incident Report)
Covered establishments with 20 to 249 employees in certain
industries with historically high rates of occupational injuries and illnesses
must submit information electronically from OSHA Form 300A.
OSHA had published a notice of proposed rule-making to extend
the date by which certain employers are required to submit the information from
their completed 2016 Form 300A electronically from July 1, 2017 to December 1,
2017. Comments were due in mid-July and a final rule is likely forthcoming.
