Health and Safety
OSHA’s Final Rule requires establishments with 250+ employees to submit only the 300A data electronically, while retaining Forms 300, 300A and 301 for five years. The 300A data is confidential and won’t be publicly released.
Access construction safety resources through organizations like The Builders Association to ensure compliance as an OSHA-compliant construction company.
Record-Keeping Requirements
Many employers with more than 10 employees are required to keep a record of serious work-related injuries and illnesses. (Certain low-risk industries are exempted.) Minor injuries requiring first aid only do not need to be recorded.
The Builders Association is committed to ensuring that construction industry members are appropriately reporting and recording information. Correct recordkeeping helps employers, workers and OSHA evaluate the safety of a workplace, understand industry hazards, and implement worker protections to reduce and eliminate hazards – preventing future workplace injuries and illnesses.
Maintaining & Posting Records
OSHA requires that all records be maintained at the worksite for at least five years. Each February through April, employers must post a summary of the injuries and illnesses recorded the previous year. Also, if requested, copies of the records must be provided to current and former employees or their representatives.
Updated Electronic Submission of Records
The Injury Tracking Application (ITA) was created for construction employers to provide the Agency your OSHA Form 300A information. The date by which certain employers are required to submit the information from their completed Form 300A to OSHA is March 2nd of the year after the calendar year covered by the form.
Severe Injury Reporting
Employers must report any worker fatality within 8 hours and any amputation, loss of an eye, or hospitalization of a worker within 24 hours.
Additional information on the posting requirements is available at www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/index.html.
