The Cal OSHA form 300A* (the Annual Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses) is required to be posted thru April 30, 2011 for all 2010 work-related injuries and illnesses.
This posting is required even if no work-related injuries or illnesses occurred during the year.
Exempt Exceptions:
- Employers with 10 or less employees are exempt.
- Companies classified in a low hazard Standard Industry Classification (SIC).
If you are NOT exempt:
Complete a Cal OSHA 300 form* (the "Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses) then transfer the total number of incidents in each category listed to the "Summary" (form 300A).
California law requires employers to post the "Summary" form from February 1 to April 30 of the year following the year covered by the "Summary." It must be displayed in a conspicuous location where notices to employees are customarily posted.
A copy of the "Summary" must also be made available to employees who move from worksite to worksite and employees who do not report to any fixed establishment on a regular basis.
At the end of the three-month (February 1 thru April 30) period, the "Summary" should be taken down and kept on file for a period of five years. You are not required to send it to Cal OSHA.
NOTE: Cal OSHA forms and information are available at http://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/PubOrder.asp under the"Recordkeeping" section.
