Reminder: Cal/OSHA Posting Requirement February 1st!

Every year from February 1st thru April 30th, most employers* are required to post Cal/OSHA Form 300A in a conspicuous place where you normally post employee posters. It's that time again, and after April 30^th, the Form 300A may be taken down but must be kept on file for five (5) years.

Information on Form 300A

Employers must prepare a summary of the prior year's (i.e., 2020) illnesses and injuries for each establishment. Employers should create this summary based on Form 300, which is the employer's log of every recordable injury and illness. "Recordable" injuries and illnesses include those that are work-related and involve one of the following:

• Medical Treatment Beyond First Aid;
• Restricted Work Activity or Job Transfer;
• Days Away From Work;
• Loss of Consciousness; or
• Death

*Note: Employers with fewer than 10 employees or whose organization is classified in a specific, low hazard category are exempt from the recording requirements. 

Certification of Form 300A

Before you post your Form 300A, the annual summary must be certified by:   

• An owner;
• A corporate officer;
• The highest-ranking person at the establishment; or
• The immediate supervisor of the highest-ranking person at the establishment.

COVID-19 and Form 300A 

COVID-19 illnesses are considered a recordable event if all of the following apply:

• The case is a confirmed COVID-19 case;
• The case is work-related (meaning the work environment contributed to the COVID-19 transmission); and
• The case involves one or more of the general recording criteria listed above (i.e., medical treatment beyond first aid, restricted work activity, days away from work, etc.).
