March 2, 2025: Deadline for Electronic Submission of 2025 Workplace Injury and Illness Data

The deadline for submitting electronic workplace injury and illness information to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is March 2, 2026. Failure to submit timely data can result in a citation or penalty.

OSHA maintains a secure website hosting its Injury Tracking Application (ITA), which can be used by certain employers to submit data from their OSHA recordkeeping forms (OSHA Forms 300A, 300, and 301). Covered employers must use the ITA to submit their data ahead of the reporting deadline, which for calendar year 2025 is March 2, 2026. To ensure that data is submitted on time, establishments should use the ITA to submit their data well ahead of the deadline in case of any technical issues.

Online submission of workplace injury and illness data is required for establishments if the answer to either of the questions below is yes.

  1. Your establishment had 250 or more part-time, full-time, and seasonal employees at any time during calendar year 2025 and is not on the exempt industry list.
  2. Your establishment had between 20 and 249 part-time, full-time, and seasonal employees at any time in calendar year 2025 if you are in a designated industry.

Designated industries include, but are not limited to, general medical and surgical hospitals, psychiatric and substance abuse hospitals, specialty (except psychiatric and substance abuse) hospitals, other ambulatory health care services, nursing care facilities, residential mental retardation, mental health and substance abuse facilities, community care facilities for the elderly, and other residential care facilities. If your establishment qualifies for electronic reporting, then electronic reporting is mandatory. OSHA will not accept paper submissions of workplace injury and illness data.

If the answer to one of the above questions is yes, your establishment is required to use the ITA to submit OSHA Form 300A data. Establishments must also use the ITA to submit Form 300/301 data if they have more than 100 employees in designated industries, which include the aforementioned healthcare and social care sectors, as listed in Appendix B to Subpart E of 29 CFR Part 1904.

It is the responsibility of each establishment to determine whether it is required to submit its workplace injury and illness data electronically, as OSHA does not generally notify establishments if they must submit data electronically. If in any doubt, OSHA has an ITA coverage application that can be used to determine if the ITA must be used to submit Form 300A and 300/301 data.
