Work out the numbers for your OSHA 300A.

The 300A asks for your annual average number of employees, the total hours your people worked, and the totals from your 300 log. Enter what you have. The worksheet does the arithmetic and prints a sheet you can copy onto the form.

What it works out

  • The annual average number of employees: everyone you paid in each pay period, added up, divided by the number of pay periods.
  • Total hours worked, from your time records or as an estimate, with paid leave taken out.
  • The 300A totals from your 300 log, with a check that cases by outcome and cases by type match.
  • The dates: post from February 1 to April 30, and file electronically by March 2 if you have to.

What it doesn't do

  • It isn't OSHA's form. Copy the numbers onto Form 300A, or onto an equivalent that carries the employee access and penalty statements the rule asks for. A company executive has to certify the summary before it goes up.
  • It doesn't file anything. PortalBase doesn't file with OSHA for you. Nothing you type is saved or sent. The hours estimate is an estimate, so use your time records if you have them.

Run this in the field.

Common questions

How do I work out the annual average number of employees?
Add up the number of employees you paid in every pay period of the year, counting part-time, seasonal and temporary workers. Divide by the number of pay periods. The instructions on the 300A form say how to round.
What counts as total hours worked?
Hours your employees actually worked. Leave out vacation, sick leave, holidays and other paid time off. If you have no time records, estimate as closely as you can and keep your working with the 300A.
When do I have to post the 300A?
By February 1 of the year after the one it covers, and it stays up until April 30 (1904.32). If you had no recordable cases, you still fill out and post it with zeros.
Do I have to file the 300A with OSHA?
Only some establishments do, by March 2. It depends on headcount and industry. The OSHA log and filing checker on this site shows which rule applies to you.
