Please note: OSHA has pushed back this deadline once again. According to OSHA, “OSHA will continue accepting 2016 OSHA Form 300A data through the Injury Tracking Application (ITA) until midnight on December 31, 2017. OSHA will not take enforcement action against those employers who submit their reports after the December 15, 2017, deadline but before December 31, 2017, final entry date. Starting January 1, 2018, the ITA will no longer accept the 2016 data.”
The language in the quote above is taken directly from an OSHA Newsletter sent on December 18, 2017.
