FAQ
I filled in the information for the “300A
Summary”, but it will not let me click on
the Save button. What do I do now?
There are three common problems that
stop the Save button from being
highlighted. First, the radio button on
the top right of the 300A data page that
says "Did this establishment have
injuries or illnesses" must be filled out.
Second, all the boxes must be filled out,
with a "0" if applicable instead of being
left empty. Third, there cannot be any
commas, decimals, or other nonnumbers in the employees or hours
worked fields. Generally, a field that
contains an error is outlined in red.

CSV File FAQs
Do I need to submit my data by using the web forms AND by csv file?
No, you only have to provide the data using one of those methods. Please be aware that if you
are submitting data for just one or for a small handful of establishments, it is much easier to enter
the data manually by selecting the "Create Establishment" button and filling out a couple of web
forms rather than trying to create and upload a csv file. If you have already provided your
establishment information for a previous collection(s), you only need to click on “View
establishment list”, select the already entered establishment and provide the new 300A summary
data.
I am trying to submit my data using a csv file but it keeps stripping the leading zeroes from
my zip codes. How can I fix this problem?
When you edit a csv file using Excel, it does strip the leading zeroes. To stop that from
happening, put an apostrophe (‘) in front of the zero then save it. Be aware that if you open the
file again with Excel, it will strip the zeroes again. You can also edit it with Notepad (right click
on the file and choose the Open With feature). Notepad will not strip the zeroes.
Can I include decimals in my numbers?
No. The system will reject the file if you include decimals in any of the number fields. Only
enter whole numbers.
I use the Excel spreadsheet from your website as my OSHA forms. Can I change this to a
csv file to upload to the ITA?
No, that would not be in the correct format, the system would reject that file. The format must
be the same as the template file located at
https://www.osha.gov/injuryreporting/osha_ita_summary_data_csv_template.csv. Please be
aware that if you are submitting data for just one or for a small handful of establishments, it is
much easier to enter the data manually by selecting the "Create Establishment" button and filling
out a couple of web forms rather than trying to create and upload a csv file. If you have already
provided your establishment information for a previous collection(s), you only need to click on
“View establishment list”, select the already entered establishment and provide the new 300A
summary data.
