Designated industries for 300A reporting

Whether you are required to submit your OSHA Form 300A data depends on your industry. Under OSHA's recordkeeping rule, establishments with 20 to 249 employees must electronically submit their Form 300A data only if their industry is on a specific list designated by OSHA.

This requirement, outlined in 1904.41(a)(1)(i), applies to industries with historically high rates of occupational injuries and illnesses. Key sectors on this list include:

• Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting (NAICS 11)
• Utilities (NAICS 22)
• Construction (NAICS 23)
• Manufacturing (NAICS 31-33)
• Wholesale Trade (NAICS 42)
• Many types of transportation, warehousing, healthcare, and retail operations

You should check the complete list of designated industries in Appendix A to Subpart E of Part 1904 to determine if your business must comply.

Yes, a construction company with 40 employees must electronically submit its Form 300A data to OSHA. The construction industry (NAICS 23) is included in OSHA's list of designated industries that have this reporting requirement for establishments with 20-249 employees.

This rule is detailed in OSHA's standard on electronic submission of records, 1904.41(a)(1)(i). The full list of industries, including construction, can be found in Appendix A to Subpart E of Part 1904.

Yes, your manufacturing facility is required to electronically report its injury and illness data. Manufacturing, which covers NAICS codes 31-33, is listed as a designated industry requiring annual electronic submission of Form 300A data for all establishments with 20-249 employees.

This requirement ensures that OSHA can collect and analyze data from industries with higher hazard rates. You can find manufacturing listed in Appendix A to Subpart E of Part 1904 as specified under the electronic submission rule in 1904.41(a)(1).

Yes, grocery stores with 20 to 249 employees are required to electronically submit their OSHA Form 300A summary. Grocery Stores (NAICS 4451) are specifically identified on the list of designated industries that must comply with this reporting rule.

This requirement is part of OSHA's effort to gather safety data from specific retail sectors. You can confirm this by checking the industry list in Appendix A to Subpart E of Part 1904, which supports the regulation at 1904.41(a)(1).

Yes, a nursing care facility with 100 employees must electronically submit its Form 300A data. Nursing Care Facilities (Skilled Nursing Facilities), under NAICS code 6231, are included in the list of designated industries with this annual reporting requirement.

The regulation applies to establishments with 20 to 249 employees in industries that OSHA has identified as having higher rates of injuries and illnesses. The requirement is found in 1904.41(a)(1)(i), and the full list of industries is available in Appendix A to Subpart E of Part 1904.

The term 'designated industries' refers to a specific list of industries that OSHA requires to electronically submit their Form 300A summary if they have between 20 and 249 employees. These industries were selected because they have historically higher rates of occupational injuries and illnesses compared to other sectors.

The purpose of collecting this data is to help OSHA better identify, target, and address workplace hazards. The complete list of these industries, each identified by its North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code, is published in Appendix A to Subpart E of Part 1904. This requirement is established under 1904.41(a)(1)(i).
