OSHA to accept electronic injury, illness report submissions through year-end

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) says it will continue accepting 2016 OSHA Form 300A data through the Injury Tracking Application (ITA) until midnight Dec. 31, 2017.

OSHA says it will not take enforcement action against those employers that submit their reports after the Dec. 15, 2017, deadline but before the Dec. 31, 2017, final entry date.

Starting Jan. 1, 2018, the ITA will no longer accept the 2016 data.
