The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) today launched the Injury Tracking Application (ITA), according to www.osha.gov. The web-based form allows employers to electronically submit required injury and illness data from their completed 2016 OSHA Form 300A. The application is accessible on the ITA Web page by clicking here.
In June, OSHA published a notice of proposed rulemaking to extend the July 1, 2017, deadline for submitting 2016 Form 300A to Dec. 1, 2017, to allow affected entities sufficient time to familiarize themselves with the electronic reporting system and to provide the new administration with an opportunity to review the new electronic reporting requirements before their implementation.
Establishments in high-risk industries with between 20 and 249 employees will be required to submit some information from their OSHA Form 300A. Establishments with 250 or more employees will be required to submit information from their OSHA Forms 300A, 300 and 301.
