Statutory Requirement to Review and Post OSHA Form 300A Summary and Review OSHA Form 300 for Calendar Year 2024
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires all Postal Service™ installation and establishment heads to complete and post the OSHA Form 300A, Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, for calendar year (CY) 2024, in accordance with 29 CFR 1904, and the Employee and Labor Relations Manual (ELM), 821, Actions in the Event of Accident, Injury, or Illness.
OSHA Form 300A Review and Posting
From February 1 through April 30, 2025, installations are required to post a copy of the OSHA Form 300A for CY 2024 in a conspicuous place at every establishment where employees work or report to work.
Review
Before posting, review the following on OSHA Form 300A:
- The left side of the OSHA 300A contains sets of information data points with a letter, such as the letter “K,” that correspond to each data point. The data points come from the OSHA 300 Log summary columns with the same letter.
- The right side of the OSHA Form 300A is self explanatory except for the North American Industrial Classification code. Use code 491110 for all Postal Service establishments.
Posting
Before posting and signing the OSHA Form 300A, the installation or establishment heads must:
- Review the OSHA Form 300 Log and the OSHA Form 300A Summary Reports.
- Sign the OSHA Form 300A, to affirm they reviewed both OSHA forms for accuracy and completeness, whether they use manual or automated versions of the forms.
OSHA Form 300 Log Review — Do Not Post
When reviewing the OSHA Form 300 Log, installation heads must pay close attention to the following columns:
- Column F, which includes:
- A description of the injury or illness.
- The parts of the body affected (including which side of the body).
- The object or substance that directly injured or made the person ill (e.g., second-degree burns on right forearm from acetylene torch).
- Columns K and L. If an injury is identified as “days away from work” in column K or “on the job transfer or restriction” in column L, installation heads must ensure that the number of days entered is accurate.
For every entry on the OSHA Form 300 Log, the installation head must ensure that there is a corresponding Accident Report.
