2026 OSHA Reporting Deadlines
Establishments with 250 or more employees in industries covered by the recordkeeping regulation must keep these two dates in mind:
Form 300A must be posted in a visible area of the workplace from
February 1, 2026
through April 30th of the year following the year in which the incidents were recorded. This year, that means your form should contain case information for 2025.
Establishments must submit information from their 2025 Form 300A by:
March 2, 2026
In a high-risk industry? Establishments with 20-249 employees must also submit your information by these dates.

What Are OSHA’s Reporting Requirements?
Employers with more than ten employees in most industries are required to keep records of occupational injuries and illnesses at their establishments. These records include…
- OSHA 300: Log of work-related injuries and illnesses
- OSHA 300A: Summary of work-related injuries and illnesses
- OSHA 301: Injury and illness incident report
The OSHA electronic reporting rule
OSHA’s reporting requirements have recently changed and now entail electronic reporting. Establishments with 250 or more employees that are currently required to keep OSHA injury and illness records, as well as establishments with 20–249 employees that are classified in certain industries with historically high rates of occupational injuries and illnesses, must electronically submit some information on an annual basis to OSHA. Moreover, organizations in regulated industries must submit 300A forms through OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application.

Not every injury or illness needs to be recorded and reported to OSHA. To be considered recordable, an injury or illness must be work-related and require medical attention beyond first aid.
