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.
