Can I submit my OSHA 300 log online through the ITA?

Yes. The OSHA ITA portal accepts electronic submission of your 300 log data in two ways: CSV upload (for establishments with many records) or manual data entry through the web form. You'll need your establishment information, NAICS code, average employee count, and annual summary totals from Form 300A. Starting in 2026, establishments with 100+ employees in designated industries must also submit Form 301 individual case data.

What is the difference between ITA tracking and ITA reporting?

ITA tracking refers to the ongoing process of monitoring your establishment's compliance status, submission deadlines, and filing history throughout the year. ITA reporting is the specific act of submitting your injury and illness data through the OSHA ITA portal by the March 2 annual deadline. Effective ITA tracking ensures you don't miss the reporting deadline by maintaining accurate OSHA 300 logs year-round, verifying your coverage status, and preparing your Form 300A data before the submission window opens.

How does the OSHA ITA CSV Validator work?

Upload your 300/301 case data CSV file and the validator checks it against OSHA's official ITA spec. It verifies column headers match exactly, dates are in MM/DD/YYYY format, required fields are present, enum codes are valid, and cross-field business rules are consistent (e.g., time fields match time_unknown flags). You get a cleaned CSV with auto-fixes applied and a detailed report of any remaining issues.

What CSV format does OSHA ITA expect?

OSHA ITA requires a comma-delimited CSV file with specific column headers in the first row. For 300/301 case data, the spec requires 24 columns including establishment_name, year_of_filing, case_number, job_title, date_of_incident, and others. Dates must be in MM/DD/YYYY format, times in HH:mm 24-hour format, and establishment names must match your ITA portal registration exactly. The validator checks all of these requirements.

Do I need to upload Form 301 as a PDF?

No. The ITA does not accept scanned PDFs of Form 301. Instead, you submit the data fields from each incident report — either by entering them manually through the ITA portal's web form or by uploading a CSV file with the required columns. You are providing structured data, not document images.

What if the previous safety manager left without sharing ITA login credentials?

Use the "Forgot Password" link on the ITA login page to reset the password if the account email is still accessible. If the email is also unavailable, submit a help request through OSHA's ITA Help Request Form at osha.gov/injuryreporting/ita/help-request-form or call 1-800-321-OSHA (6742). Have your company's EIN and establishment address ready — OSHA will verify ownership before granting access.

Does the OSHA ITA portal crash near the filing deadline?

The ITA portal has historically experienced slowdowns, timeouts, and intermittent outages during the final week of February as filing volume spikes. OSHA does not typically extend the March 2 deadline due to portal issues. We recommend completing your submission by February 15 to avoid last-minute technical problems.

What is the OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA)?

The OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) is an online portal where covered employers must electronically submit injury and illness data from their OSHA 300 logs. This requirement helps OSHA identify workplaces where workers are at greatest risk and allows the agency to target resources more effectively.

Which employers must electronically submit OSHA 300A data?

Two groups must submit: (1) Establishments with 250 or more employees that are required to keep OSHA injury/illness records, and (2) Establishments with 20-249 employees in certain designated high-hazard industries, including oil & gas extraction and support activities. Some low-hazard industries are partially exempt from recordkeeping.

What NAICS codes require electronic OSHA reporting in oil & gas?

Common oil & gas NAICS codes on OSHA's designated list include: 211120 (Crude Petroleum Extraction), 211130 (Natural Gas Extraction), 213111 (Drilling Oil and Gas Wells), 213112 (Support Activities for Oil and Gas Operations), 237120 (Oil and Gas Pipeline Construction), and 486110/486210 (Pipeline Transportation). Use the official OSHA ITA Coverage App to verify your specific NAICS code.

When is the deadline to submit Form 300A electronically?

The electronic submission deadline is March 2 each year for the previous calendar year's data. The Form 300A posting window runs from February 1 through April 30 - during this time, employers must display the annual summary in a visible workplace location.

How do I check if my company is covered by OSHA ITA requirements?

Use our calculator above for a quick assessment based on your employee count and NAICS code. For definitive answers, use the official OSHA ITA Coverage Application at osha.gov/ita. Coverage depends on establishment size, industry classification, and whether you're required to maintain OSHA injury and illness records.

What information must be submitted through the OSHA ITA?

Covered establishments must submit information from OSHA Form 300A, including: establishment information (name, address, NAICS code, average employees), total number of cases, total days away from work, total job transfer/restriction days, injury and illness types, and whether the 300A is being submitted for an establishment with no recordable injuries or illnesses.

Are oil and gas support services (NAICS 213112) required to file electronically?

Yes, NAICS 213112 (Support Activities for Oil and Gas Operations) is on OSHA's designated industry list. Establishments with this NAICS code and 20-249 employees must electronically submit Form 300A data. Establishments with 250+ employees are also covered regardless of specific NAICS code, as long as they're required to keep OSHA records.

What happens if I miss the OSHA electronic filing deadline?

Failure to submit required OSHA data by the March 2 deadline can result in citations. OSHA considers failure to submit as a recordkeeping violation. Penalties for recordkeeping violations can reach $16,131 per violation (2024 rates). Late submissions should be made as soon as possible through the ITA portal.

What's the difference between ITA coverage and ITA reporting?

ITA coverage determines whether your establishment is required to submit data electronically based on employee count and NAICS code. ITA reporting is the actual submission process: uploading your Form 300A data to OSHA's Injury Tracking Application portal by the March 2 deadline. You can have coverage requirements without having completed reporting, which would put you out of compliance.

Who should I contact with questions about ITA filing requirements?

For federal OSHA questions, contact the toll-free hotline at 1-800-321-OSHA (6742) or reach your nearest OSHA regional or area office. The ITA portal at osha.gov/injuryreporting also provides help resources and contact information for technical filing issues. If your establishment is in a state-plan state, contact your state occupational safety and health agency directly, as they administer their own programs and may have additional guidance.

Do I need to submit a report if my establishment had zero injuries?

Yes. Establishments that are required to electronically submit injury and illness data must file even if they had zero recordable cases during the year. The report confirms that no recordable injuries or illnesses occurred at your establishment for that reporting period. OSHA uses this data to maintain accurate industry-wide records, and failure to submit a zero-case report is still considered a reporting violation.

Does OSHA require training on injury and illness recordkeeping?

Yes. OSHA expects employers to train the personnel responsible for maintaining Forms 300, 300A, and 301 on proper recordkeeping procedures. Training should cover how to identify recordable injuries and illnesses, when cases must be reported, and how to accurately complete each form. While OSHA does not mandate a specific training curriculum for recordkeeping, federal guidelines recommend that safety and health training be documented and refreshed annually. Proper training helps ensure the information submitted through the ITA is accurate and complete.

Where can I find federal OSHA resources and background information on the ITA?

OSHA provides background information and federal compliance resources at osha.gov/injuryreporting. This includes guidance on which forms are required, how to navigate the ITA portal, and answers to common filing questions. For direct assistance, contact OSHA's toll-free number at 1-800-321-OSHA (6742) or reach back out to your regional office. OSHA's recordkeeping resources page also covers training requirements, form instructions, and updates to federal reporting standards.

OSHA ITA Calculator: Form 300A Electronic Filing Requirements

Q: How do I check my ITA coverage application status?

Use OSHA's ITA Coverage Application at osha.gov/ita to check whether your establishment is required to submit data electronically. Enter your NAICS code and employee count to receive an immediate coverage determination. The ITA coverage application is separate from the ITA filing portal. It only tells you whether you're covered, not where you submit data. If you're covered, you'll then use the ITA portal to file your Forms 300A data by the March 2 deadline.

The OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) requires certain employers to electronically submit injury and illness data from their OSHA 300 logs. Under the ITA, employers submit ITA log data through OSHA's online portal, including Form 300A annual summary information and, starting in 2026, Form 301 individual case data.

ITA tracking requirements apply to designated high-hazard industries such as oil & gas extraction and support activities. Establishments with 250+ employees must submit Form 300A data annually, while those with 20-249 employees in covered industries must also file. This free OSHA ITA calculator helps oil and gas contractors quickly determine whether their company likely falls under electronic submission requirements based on employee count and NAICS code.

Top 5 ITA CSV Rejection Errors & Fixes

These are the most common reasons OSHA's ITA portal rejects a CSV upload. Fix them before you submit.

Establishment name mismatch

Fix: Your CSV establishment_name must match your ITA portal registration exactly, including punctuation and abbreviations. "ABC Oil LLC" is not the same as "ABC Oil."

Date format rejected

Fix: All dates must be MM/DD/YYYY. The ITA spec does not accept YYYY-MM-DD, DD/MM/YYYY, or dates without leading zeros. 2/3/2025 should be 02/03/2025.

Required fields left blank

Fix: case_number, establishment_name, and year_of_filing can never be blank. Even zero-case submissions need these populated for every row.

Character limit exceeded

Fix: job_title is capped at 100 characters, and narrative description fields have their own limits. Truncate before upload or the entire file is rejected.

Column header mismatch

Fix: Headers must match the OSHA ITA spec exactly, including underscores and casing. "Case_Number" or "caseNumber" will fail. Use "case_number" as specified.

Pro Tip: Catch all five before OSHA does.

Our free CSV validator above checks for every one of these errors and auto-fixes what it can. Run your file through before uploading to the ITA portal.

OSHA ITA Log Requirements

The ITA log is the electronic version of your OSHA 300 log data submitted through OSHA's Injury Tracking Application portal. Rather than a separate form, the ITA log collects the same injury and illness records you already maintain on OSHA Forms 300 and 300A, and beginning in 2026, Form 301 individual incident reports for establishments with 100+ employees in designated industries (per 29 CFR 1904.41).

Employers can submit their ITA log data in two ways: CSV file upload (ideal for establishments with many records) or manual entry through the ITA portal's web form. Both methods require the same data fields, including establishment details, NAICS code, and annual summary totals from your OSHA 300/300A logs.

OSHA uses this data to identify workplaces where employees are at greatest risk and to direct compliance assistance and enforcement resources to those industries and establishments with the highest injury and illness rates.

The ITA is a federal OSHA program established under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. States that operate their own OSHA-approved safety and health plans must meet or exceed federal reporting requirements, though specific procedures may vary. Establishments in state-plan states should contact their regional OSHA office or state agency for information on any additional filing obligations.

OSHA requires employers to train designated personnel on proper recordkeeping procedures, including how to classify injuries and illnesses and when to report them. Safety and health training ensures that the information recorded on Forms 300 and 301 is accurate before it is submitted through the ITA. Establishments should review their training program annually to confirm staff understand current federal recordkeeping standards.

How to Use the OSHA ITA Application

The ITA coverage application determines whether you must file. The ITA portal is where you submit data. Here's how to use both.

Navigate to OSHA's ITA Coverage Application

Visit osha.gov/ita and select the ITA Coverage Application. This is a separate tool from the ITA filing portal. It only checks whether your establishment is covered.

Enter your NAICS code

Input your establishment's 6-digit NAICS code. Common oil & gas codes include 211120 (Crude Petroleum Extraction), 213111 (Drilling), and 213112 (Support Activities).

Enter your employee count

Provide the peak number of employees at your establishment during the previous calendar year. The threshold is 20 employees for designated industries.

Review your coverage determination

The ITA coverage application will confirm whether your establishment must electronically submit injury and illness data based on your industry and size.

Proceed to the ITA portal to file

If covered, navigate to the ITA filing portal to submit your Forms 300A data. You'll need your establishment information, NAICS code, and annual summary totals.

Taking Over OSHA Filing?

New safety manager inheriting an ITA account? Here's how to get access and avoid common setup confusion.

Recover ITA Portal Access

Use the “Forgot Password” link on the ITA login page to reset credentials tied to the establishment's registered email.
If the email is no longer accessible, submit an ITA Help Request Form or call OSHA at 1-800-321-OSHA (6742).
Have your company's EIN and establishment address ready. OSHA will verify ownership before granting access.

Two Portals, Two Accounts

A common point of confusion: the ITA Coverage Application (checks if you need to file) and the ITA Filing Portal (where you submit data) are separate systems with separate logins.

The Coverage Application does not require an account. Anyone can check coverage status.

The Filing Portal requires an account linked to each establishment. This is where CSV uploads and manual entry happen.

What is ITA Reporting?

ITA reporting refers to the electronic submission of OSHA Form 300A data through OSHA's Injury Tracking Application (ITA) portal. Covered establishments must upload their annual summary data by March 2 each year. The ITA portal collects injury and illness data and workplace health and safety statistics that OSHA uses to identify high-hazard workplaces and target enforcement resources.

The submission process supports two formats: CSV file upload for establishments with large datasets, and manual data entry through the ITA portal's web form. Both methods require the same core information from your OSHA Forms 300 and 300A including establishment details, total recordable cases, days away from work, and injury/illness type breakdowns.

Beginning with the 2025 reporting year (due March 2, 2026), OSHA's updated federal rule requires establishments with 100 or more employees in certain high-hazard industries to also submit Form 301 (Injury and Illness Incident Report) data through the ITA. This expansion significantly increases the detail of information OSHA collects, including how and when each incident occurred.

OSHA publishes aggregated injury and illness data from ITA submissions to support federal workplace health and safety research. Establishments can also look back at their own previously submitted information through the ITA portal, making it a useful resource for internal safety benchmarking and year-over-year trend analysis of recordable injury rates.

ITA Tracking & Key Deadlines

Effective ITA tracking means staying ahead of OSHA's annual compliance cycle. Here are the critical dates and information to track.

File Early: The ITA Portal Slows Down Near the Deadline

The OSHA ITA portal has historically experienced slowdowns, timeouts, and intermittent outages during the last week of February as thousands of establishments rush to file before March 2. We recommend completing your submission by February 15 to avoid last-minute portal issues. A rejected CSV upload at 11 PM on March 1 is a problem you can prevent.

Establishments with 250 or more employees that are required to keep OSHA injury/illness records must submit Form 300A data electronically.

20-249 Employees

Establishments with 20-249 employees in designated high-hazard industries must submit. Oil & gas extraction and support services are on the list.

About Exemptions

Certain low-hazard industries are exempt from routine OSHA recordkeeping requirements. OSHA updates the list of covered industries periodically - check the current list at osha.gov/injuryreporting. Requirements may change annually. Establishments unsure about their exemption status should contact OSHA directly for information on filing requirements and to get back a definitive coverage determination.

What You Actually Submit Through the ITA

What you file depends on your establishment size and industry. Here's a quick breakdown.

20–99 Employees

Designated industries only

Form 300A only

100–249 Employees

Designated industries only

Form 300A + Form 301

250+ Employees

All recordkeeping industries

Form 300A

+ Form 301 if in a designated industry

No PDF uploads required. You submit data fields (via CSV or manual entry), not scanned documents. OSHA does not accept PDF copies of your paper forms through the ITA.

Form 300 stays with you. The OSHA 300 Log is retained at your establishment. The ITA is the electronic channel for submitting the 300A summary and 301 incident data, not the log itself.

Why ITA Compliance Matters

OSHA takes ITA non-submission seriously. Failing to file can trigger enforcement action and substantial penalties.

Non-submission triggers review

Penalty amounts reflect 2024 rates. OSHA adjusts for inflation annually. A typical inspection may cite multiple violations.

OSHA's non-responder enforcement program specifically targets establishments that fail to submit required ITA data. Non-submission flags your establishment for potential inspection and can compound existing violations. Stay ahead of upcoming deadlines to avoid penalties.

OSHA ITA Filing & Compliance Questions

Common questions about ITA log submission, coverage requirements, and electronic filing

An ITA log refers to the electronic version of your OSHA 300 log data submitted through OSHA's Injury Tracking Application portal. Rather than maintaining a separate log, the ITA collects the same injury and illness data recorded on your OSHA Forms 300 and 300A and stores it in OSHA's centralized database. Employers upload their annual summary data, including total cases, days away from work, and injury types, either via CSV file or manual entry through the ITA portal.
