OSHA Injury and Illness Electronic Reporting Deadline 2 Weeks Away

Feb 21, 2024

Dealerships required to electronically file 2023 employee workplace injury and illness records with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) must do so by March 2, 2024.

OSHA injury and illness reporting requirements depend on the type of dealership and number of employees working at a single “establishment” or rooftop. OSHA defines establishment as “a single location where business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed.” The following categories of dealerships must record and report employee workplace injury and illness:

  • Commercial truck dealerships with 20 or more employees working at a single establishment must electronically submit OSHA Form 300A- Annual Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses
  • Commercial truck dealerships with 100 or more employees working at a single establishment, in addition to submitting OSHA Form 300A- Annual Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, must electronically submit case-specific information from OSHA Form 300 Log and OSHA Form 301 Incident Report
  • Light-duty dealerships with 250 or more employees at a single establishment must electronically submit OSHA Form 300A- Annual Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses
  • Light-duty dealerships with fewer than 250 employees at a single establishment must annually record workplace injuries and illnesses but are not required to file electronically with OSHA
  • All dealerships must report worker fatalities within eight hours and worker amputations, eye losses or hospitalizations within 24 hours.

Electronic filing must be done using OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application (ITA). See OSHA’s FAQs on the ITA submission process. A North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) number is required for filing: commercial-truck dealerships are NAICS 42311; light-duty dealerships are NAICS 44111.
