What is the OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA)?

OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application is the electronic system many covered establishments use to submit injury and illness data, typically including Form 300A summary information and, for some establishments, case-level detail. Deadlines and eligibility depend on size and industry—confirm current requirements on osha.gov.

When is the OSHA 300A posting period?

Covered employers generally must post the Form 300A summary from February 1 through April 30 of the year following the calendar year covered by the form. Always verify current OSHA instructions for your establishments.

Can Rivkor generate OSHA 300 logs?

Yes. Rivkor generates OSHA 300, 300A, and 301 forms from incident data and supports ITA-compatible CSV export to help you prepare submissions. You remain responsible for accurate classification and timely filing.

OSHA 300/300A/301 + ITA Checklist

Reviewed by Rivkor safety content team · Last reviewed: 2026-09-26 · Updated for small-business EHS programs · Not legal advice

A practical checklist for covered employers—especially teams under ~500 employees who still run logs in spreadsheets. This is educational guidance, not legal advice; confirm current rules on osha.gov/recordkeeping.

Forms at a glance

Form 300 — Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses

Form 300A — Annual summary (posting + many ITA submissions)

Form 301 — Injury and Illness Incident Report (complete promptly after a recordable case)

Year-round checklist

Decide recordability under 29 CFR 1904 for each case (do not treat first aid as recordable).
Complete Form 301 within 7 calendar days of receiving information that a recordable injury or illness occurred.
Enter the case on the Form 300 log and keep day counts updated (calendar days; observe the 180-day cap rules).
Retain records for the required retention period and keep them available for inspection.
Train the person who owns recordkeeping—often HR or an operations lead wearing two hats.

Annual cycle (typical federal OSHA)

January: Review prior-year cases; reconcile 300 log totals with 300A.
February 1 – April 30: Post Form 300A where employees can see it (verify current OSHA instructions).
By March 2 (typical ITA deadline): Electronically submit required data through OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application if your establishment is covered.
After submission: Keep confirmation records with your audit packet.
