In a spot that’s visible to all employees. Here’s how OSHA puts it in a recent OSHA Quick Take:

[300A]…must be displayed in a common area where notices to employees are usually posted.

What Information Should Form 300A Include?

Form 300A is a summary of the illnesses and injuries that occurred in the workplace during the previous year. The information in Form 300A is taken from Form 300, Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses.
