Washington — OSHA has released the 2024 data collected under its rules for annual injury and illness data submission.
The data comes from 370,000 reports submitted on OSHA Form 300A, an annual summary of work-related injuries and illnesses. The agency requires establishments covered under the rule to submit Form 300A data each year via the Injury Tracking Application.
OSHA has also posted “partial data” from more than 732,000 reports from Forms 300 and 301. Form 300 is a log of work-related injuries and illnesses, while Form 301 contains corresponding incident reports for each of those injuries or illnesses.
“Providing access to injury and illness data will assist in identifying unsafe conditions and workplace hazards that may cause occupational injuries and illnesses,” OSHA says in an April 17 press release. “Recognizing these hazards will help detect ways to control or prevent them and reduce future injuries. At the core, making this data available protects workers and ensures their health and safety throughout their working day.”
The agency adds that it’s “taking additional steps to protect worker privacy by reviewing the remaining data for certain personally identifiable information” and will make the data publicly available after its review.
