Workplace Injuries and Illness
Annual Cal/OSHA Posting and Reporting Requirements
From February 1 to April 30, California employers which have had ten or more persons on payroll at any time the previous year must post an annual summary of work-related injuries and illness (Cal/OSHA Form 300A).
This posted information stems from the more-detailed “Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses” (Cal/OSHA Form 300).
Unless Cal/OSHA specifically directs a business otherwise, California employers in certain low-hazard industries are exempt from recording workplace injuries and illnesses.
Companies with 250 or more employees – as well as “Appendix H” businesses with 20-249 on payroll – are also required to electronically submit Form 300A to Cal/OSHA.
Regardless of size or exemption, California employers must immediately report to the nearest Cal/OSHA district office all occupational incidents that result in any fatality, hospitalization for more than 24 hours (other than for observation), or loss or serious disfigurement of any body part.
See Cal/OSHA’s recordkeeping website for more information and forms.
