Every August, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) promotes its "Safe and Sound" campaign, a national initiative to raise awareness about the importance of effective workplace safety and health programs. This year is no exception, and it's the perfect time for organizations to reaffirm their commitment to creating safer work environments.

Collecting data on workplace injuries and illnesses is essential to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) mission to improve workplace safety and health. In October 2022, OSHA announced changes to the OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA). This safety blog will help you understand what steps you need to take to report your Form 300A Summary log of 2023 injury and illness data to OSHA using Login.gov.

All employers covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) are covered by Part 1904 Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses. However, there are some partial exemptions for keeping OSHA injury and illness records that may apply to your workplace, including size and particular low-hazard industries. See if your facility applies for the partial exemptions.

Be prepared with the records you need to ace an OSHA Inspection.
