Good day, everyone. Dave here with Mighty Line Minute.

Today, we're talking about OSHA's Injury Tracking Application, or ITA—who must use it and what information must be submitted.

First, an important point: not every employer is required to use the ITA. OSHA's electronic reporting requirements apply to specific establishments based on their employee count and, in some cases, their industry.

Here are the three categories.

First: establishments with 20 to 249 employees must electronically submit Form 300A information if their industry is listed in Appendix A to Subpart E of 29 CFR Part 1904. OSHA identifies those industries by NAICS code.

Second: establishments with 250 or more employees that are required to keep OSHA injury and illness records must electronically submit Form 300A information.

Third: establishments with 100 or more employees in industries listed in Appendix B to Subpart E must electronically submit information from Forms 300, 300A, and 301.

So, remember: having 20 employees does not automatically mean you must report electronically. For establishments with 20 to 249 employees, both the establishment's size and its industry matter.

OSHA provides an ITA Coverage Application to help employers determine whether they are required to submit information. You can also check Appendices A and B of 29 CFR Part 1904 using your establishment's NAICS code.

For establishments required to report, the annual electronic submission is generally due March 2nd of the following year.

One final distinction: maintaining OSHA records and submitting them electronically are two different requirements. An employer may have to maintain Forms 300, 300A, and 301 without being required to submit them electronically every year.

The ITA gives OSHA access to workplace injury and illness data that can help employers identify hazards and focus prevention and compliance efforts.
