Form A must be posted from February 1 through April 30 each year. If no recordable incidents or illnesses occurred during the previous year, the form must still be completed and posted reflecting zero recordable cases. However, certain employers are exempt from these reporting requirements.
Employers with 10 or fewer employees are not required to prepare Form or Form A. In addition, in some cases, companies in exempt industries may specifically be asked to record injuries and illnesses by OSHA, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or a state agency. Also keep in mind that all employers, including those exempted by reason of company size or industry classification, must report to OSHA any workplace incident that results in a fatality, in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye.
In addition to posting a copy of Form A, some companies are also required to electronically submit this information. However, establishments that meet any of the following criteria do not have to submit their Form A information to OSHA:. If there were no recordable cases, zeros should be written in each column total. On the right side of the form, fill in the calendar year covered by the form.
Provide the name and address of the establishment, industry description, and NACIS classification if known. OSHA provides worksheets to assist in these calculations. A company official must certify that the entries on the summary are true, accurate, and complete. Post OSHA Form A in each establishment in a conspicuous place or places where notices to employees are customarily posted. Employers must post hard copy of the form. Alison Gabay. Robert O'Hara.
