Employers that are covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA's) record-keeping rule must post a summary of 2023 work-related injuries and illnesses in a noticeable place from Feb. 1 to April 30.
Employers meeting certain size and industry criteria must keep a record of serious work-related injuries and illnesses. Minor injuries that are treated only by first aid do not need to be recorded.
Employers must complete an incident report (Form 301) for each injury or illness and log work-related incidents on OSHA Form 300. Form 300A is a summary of the information in the log that must be posted in the worksite.

Federal OSHA generally requires employers with more than 10 employees to keep a record of work-related injuries and illnesses, except for establishments in exempt industries. Each year from February 1 to April 30, covered employers must post their 300A Summary in the workplace for the previous year’s injuries and illnesses.
