OSHA Recordkeeping Deadline Guides

OSHA recordkeeping has a small number of fixed dates, and most of the work is planning backwards from them. The log covers the calendar year. At year end you review the OSHA 300 Log, total it on the 300A, have a company executive certify the summary, and post it by February 1. It stays up until April 30 in a conspicuous place where notices to employees are usually posted (29 CFR 1904.32).

If your establishment is covered by the electronic submission rule, the 300A data, and for some industries the 300 and 301 case data, is due in OSHA's Injury Tracking Application by March 2 (29 CFR 1904.41). The regulation does not move the date when March 2 falls on a weekend, so plan to file early in those years.

Running through the year are the rolling clocks: record a case within seven calendar days of learning about it, report a work-related fatality to OSHA within 8 hours, and report an in-patient hospitalization, amputation or loss of an eye within 24 hours. These guides turn the dates into calendars and checklists, including posting for remote and hybrid teams and years with zero recordable cases.
