OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) Online Submission
Source: Sedgwick, January 28, 2026
Now that 2025 is behind us, hopefully you have finalized your OSHA Injury and Illness Log for 2025 and printed, signed and posted the 300A Summary form in a conspicuous location. This was due on February 1 and the Summary form must remain posted until April 30. Excellent work if you have this completed, however, some employers may still have one more step – submitting their injury and illness information online to OSHA.
If you are unsure whether or not you are required to complete this online submission, the best way to check this is by going to OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application (ITA) Coverage Application at https://www.osha.gov/itareportapp. Input the required information on company size, location and industry type, then hit the “Submit” button and it will tell you what reports, if any, will need to be submitted. You may be required to submit information from your OSHA 300A Summary Form and possibly, information from your OSHA 300 Log and OSHA 301 “Injury and Illness Incident Report”. If your establishment is required to submit online, you must go to OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application at https://www.osha.gov/injuryreporting/ita/. If you are a New User to the website, you will first need to create an ITA account.
Once that has been completed, the second step is “Sign in with Login.Gov“ account. You must use the same email address when setting up your ITA Account and your Login.Gov Account. Be sure to follow the steps under “Get help submitting your injury and illness date”. The page allows you to access:
- OSHA’s Injury Reporting Page
- ITA Frequently Asked Questions
- OSHA’s Recordkeeping Page
- Help Desk Ticket
- OSHA’s ITA Data Page
Once you have successfully set up an account, then you can submit the required information. This may just be the OSHA 300A Summary information or it may also include information from your OSHA 300 Log and OSHA Form 301 (remember, you can determine what data is required for submission from the ITA Coverage Application we discussed above). The online submission is a fairly straight forward process, but you will need a little patience. Some of the documents or information you need will include your NAICS number, average number of employees, total work hours, OSHA 300A Summary report and, if required, your OSHA Log and OSHA 301 Form(s).
