What does OSHA Form 300A represent?

OSHA Form 300A serves as a summary of work-related injuries and illnesses that have occurred within a specific calendar year. This form is required for employers covered by OSHA to complete and post in a visible location within the workplace from February 1 to April 30 each year. It provides a snapshot of the safety performance and helps to communicate safety issues to employees, stakeholders, and OSHA itself.

The importance of this form lies in its ability to help monitor workplace safety and assess the effectiveness of safety programs. By summarizing the data from OSHA Form 300 and the supplementary records, Form 300A provides key information that can be essential when analyzing trends in workplace hazards and implementing strategies for improvement.
