If your company has 10 or more employees(and is not part of the government) ....It's time to complete your OSHA 300A Summary form of work-related injuries and illnesses for 2018. You will need your OSHA 300 log from 2018, the average number of employees during 2018, the business SIC or NAICS code, and the cumulative number of manhours worked by employees during 2018. The form needs to be signed by the owner or highest ranking company official working at the site.

Check the OSHA 300 log entries prior to adding numbers for the OSHA 300A summary form. This is now more important than in the past. This is because if your company has 20 or more employees, and have any sort of industrial activities you will be required to upload your 300A data through an on-line process to OSHA.

How to check your 300 log entries: Make sure each entry line is complete and the entry text relates to the column headings above. If there are entries that involved only very basic first-aid and return to work, they may not be considered "OSHA Recordable".  Any entry that did not involve a death, lost time from work, restricted work, job transfer, amputation, stitches, or a medicine prescription likely should not be included in the data transferred to the 300A summary.

The OSHA 300A summary needs to be posted in the workplace for all of February, March, and April. Most companies leave it posted until the summary for the next year is posted.
