Do I Have to Submit to OSHA’s ITA?
Enter your establishment’s size and industry to see whether you must electronically submit injury data to OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application — with the exact regulation behind the answer.
About Your Establishment
The maximum number of people who worked at this establishment at any point last year — including part-time, seasonal, and temporary workers (29 CFR 1904.41(b)(2)).
Your industry classification code. It’s on your establishment’s prior ITA submission, or look it up at census.gov/naics.
OSHA’s submission requirement is evaluated per establishment, not company-wide — each physical location is counted and classified on its own. If your company has multiple establishments, check each one separately.
Who Has to Submit Injury Data to OSHA Electronically?
Under 29 CFR 1904.41, certain employers must electronically submit their injury and illness records to OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application (ITA) each year. Whether you’re covered depends on two things about each establishment (a single physical location): how many people worked there at their peak during the year, and what industry it’s in, identified by its six-digit NAICS code.
There are three coverage groups. Establishments with 250 or more employees in any industry required to keep OSHA records must submit their Form 300A summary (1904.41(a)(1)(ii)). Establishments with 20 to 249 employees in a designated high-hazard industry (Appendix A to Subpart E) must also submit their 300A (1904.41(a)(1)(i)). And establishments with 100 or more employees in the highest-hazard industries (Appendix B to Subpart E) must submit detailed Form 300 and Form 301 case data on top of the 300A (1904.41(a)(2)).
300A Summary vs. Detailed 300/301 Case Data
The Form 300A is the annual summary — total case counts, days, and hours worked, with no individual case details. Most covered establishments submit only this. The 300 and 301 forms carry case-level detail about each recordable injury and illness. Only the largest, highest-hazard establishments (100+ employees in an Appendix B industry) submit that detailed data, and the ITA processes it only after the establishment’s 300A has been accepted.
Partially exempt low-hazard industries (Appendix A to Subpart B under 1904.2) are outside routine recordkeeping entirely, so they have nothing to submit — regardless of size. Establishments below the 20-employee electronic-submission floor still may need to keep records; the recordkeeping exemption is a separate 10-employee test under 1904.1.
When Is the ITA Submission Deadline?
Covered establishments must submit the prior calendar year’s data by March 2 each year (29 CFR 1904.41(c)), through OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application. Because coverage is evaluated per establishment, a company with several locations may owe different submissions for each one. Missing an ITA deadline is a recordkeeping violation that carries the same penalty exposure as other other-than-serious violations — up to $16,550 per violation — so it’s worth confirming your obligation well ahead of the deadline.
