IMPORTANT: OSHA 300A Posting Period (Feb 1-Apr 30)
Employers that are covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA’s) record-keeping rule must post a summary of 2021 work-related injuries and illnesses in a noticeable place from Feb. 1 to April 30.
Many employers with more than 10 employees are required to keep a record of serious work-related injuries and illnesses. (Certain low-risk industries are exempted.) Note: Medical/Dental with 1 or more employees must follow the OSHA Guidelines.
Minor injuries requiring first aid only do not need to be recorded.

Employers must complete an incident report (Form 301) for each injury or illness and log work-related incidents on OSHA Form 300. Form 300A is a summary of the information in the log that must be posted on the worksite.
