All employers that are required by the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) to maintain OSHA Form 300A must post
the form by February 1. Employers that at any time in the past
calendar year had 10 or more employees are required to complete and
post OSHA Form 300A unless they belong to certain low-risk
industries that are exempt. Examples of low-risk, exempt industries
include clothing retail stores, publishers, banks and investment
services. A full list of exempt industries can be found on the OSHA
website.
OSHA Form 300A is a summary of all serious work-related
illnesses and injuries suffered by employees in the previous year.
Even if no incidents or injuries occurred in 2016, employers that
meet the requirement must post the form. OSHA Form 300A must be
posted in a visible location and must be displayed where notices to
employees are commonly posted and must remain posted from February
1 through April 30.
