Annual OSHA Posting Requirement

As of February1, employers are required to post their annual report of job-related injuries that occurred last year.  This form, 300A, is available here on OSHA's record keeping page  in Adobe PDF or Excel formats.  Employers are required to post the notice from February 1 through April 30th.  Other requirements for covered employers:

  • The summary should list the total  numbers of job-related injuries and illnesses that occurred on 2004 and that were logged on the OSHA 300 form.
  • Companies with no reportable injuries should post the report with zeros.
  • It should also include information about annual average number of employees and total hours worked during the calendar year to assist in calculating incident rates.
  • It needs to be displayed in a common area and employers are required to make the notice available to employees who move from worksite to worksite.
