When Do OSHA Logs Need To Be Posted?

OSHA logs, specifically the OSHA Form 300A Summary, must be posted in a visible area of the workplace from February 1st to April 30th each year. This summary reflects the work-related injuries and illnesses recorded during the previous calendar year.

Key Steps for Posting the OSHA 300A Summary

✔ Complete the OSHA Form 300A Summary: Summarize the work-related injuries and illnesses from the previous year using the OSHA Form 300 log.
✔ Certify the Summary: Have a company executive or equivalent official sign the summary to certify its accuracy.
✔ Post the Summary: Display the certified summary in a common area where employees typically see notices, from February 1st to April 30th.

Pro Tip

📋 Employers should also use Inspection Checklist Templates to ensure their workplace meets OSHA safety and compliance standards.

Electronic Submission Requirements

✔ Certain employers must electronically submit their injury and illness data to OSHA by March 2nd each year.
✔ Businesses in high-risk industries are often required to submit records online for compliance monitoring.

✔ Certain small businesses may be exempt based on their industry classification.

Pro Tips

📊 To keep proper documentation, supervisors can use Daily Report Templates for tracking workplace safety incidents.
