OSHA ITA Electronic Submission Guides
Electronic submission is a separate duty from keeping the log. Under 29 CFR 1904.41, covered establishments send their injury and illness data to OSHA's Injury Tracking Application (ITA) by March 2 of the year after the one the records cover. Three thresholds decide what you submit. Establishments with 250 or more employees that must keep records send Form 300A data. Establishments with 20 to 249 employees in an industry listed in Appendix A to Subpart E send the 300A. Establishments with 100 or more employees in an Appendix B industry also send case data from the 300 Log and the 301 reports.

Headcount means every individual employed at the establishment at any time during the year, including part-time, seasonal and temporary workers, and it is counted per establishment, not per company. Each submission needs the company's Employer Identification Number (EIN). OSHA can also collect data from any employer it notifies in writing.
These guides cover the mechanics that trip teams up in late February: NAICS lookups, the CSV template, the API, establishment IDs, zero-case filings, validation errors, correcting a submission after upload, and the proof to keep once it is accepted.
