Cal/OSHA Posting Reminder—February 1

This is your reminder that California employers must post their 2024 annual summary of work-related injuries and illnesses via Form 300A in a visible and easily accessible area at each worksite. Employers must complete and post this form from February 1 through April 30 each year, even if no work-related injuries or illnesses occurred. After April 30th, Form 300A may be taken down, but must be kept on file for a minimum of five years. Cal/OSHA offers an e-tool for employers as well.

Information on Form 300A

Employers must prepare a summary of the prior year’s (i.e., 2024) illnesses and injuries for each establishment. Employers should create this summary based on Form 300, which is the employer’s log of every recordable injury and illness. “Recordable” injuries and illnesses include those that are work-related and involve one of the following:

• Medical Treatment Beyond First Aid;
• Restricted Work Activity or Job Transfer;
• Days Away From Work;
• Loss of Consciousness; or
• Death

*Note: Employers with fewer than 10 employees or whose organization is classified in a specific, low-hazard category (found in Table 1, Appendix A, Section 14300.2) are exempt from the recording requirements.

Many large employers in California must also comply with the requirements for electronic submission of workplace injury and illness records by March 2nd each year. This includes:

• All establishments with 250 or more employees, unless specifically exempted by section 14300.2 of title 8 of the California Code of Regulations; or
• Establishments with 20 to 249 employees in the specific industries listed in Appendix H of Cal/OSHA's regulations regarding occupational injury and illness records.

Certification of Form 300A

Before you post your Form 300A, the annual summary must be certified by:

• An owner;
• A corporate officer ;
• The highest-ranking person at the establishment; or
• The immediate supervisor of the highest ranking person at the establishment.
