California osha 300a summary of work-related injuries

Employers covered by OSHA recordkeeping must post Form 300A — the annual summary of recordable injuries and illnesses — from February 1 through April 30, signed by a company executive, even in years with zero cases.

What goes on the California version

  • Case counts: deaths, days away, job transfer or restriction, and other recordables
  • Annual average number of employees and total hours worked
  • Establishment, industry and calendar year block
  • Company executive certification and signature line

California is one of our code-tuned states, so the packet builder also flags the state-specific attachments this scope triggers before you file.

Mistakes that get it kicked back

  • Skipping the posting in a zero-case year — the summary is still required
  • Having a safety coordinator sign instead of a company executive
  • Estimating total hours worked instead of pulling them from payroll
