OSHA is launching the Injury Tracking Application on Aug. 1 to help employers who are affected by OSHA’s rule requiring electronic submission of injury and illness data. The online form allows employers to electronically submit required data from their completed 2016 OSHA Form 300A; OSHA has extended the deadline for submitting 2016 Form 300A to Dec. 1, 2017, so affected entities have enough time to familiarize themselves with the electronic reporting system and to give the Trump administration an opportunity to review the new electronic reporting requirements before they are implemented.
The data submission process involves four steps: 1) Creating an establishment; 2) adding 300A summary data; 3) submitting data to OSHA; and 4) reviewing the confirmation email. According to OSHA, the secure website offers three options for data submission.
