During my facility visits this year I was surprised by the amount of MTMIC policyholders that had not submitted their 300A electronically for the 2022 year. This oversight on average cost each policyholder anywhere between $600-$1,400 in a MIOSHA penalty fine.
Remember, 300A electronic submission time runs from January 1, 2024 to March 2, 2024 for injuries or lack of, for the 2023 calendar year. Most of you are in a high hazard industry, such as Manufacturing (31-33), Automotive parts (4413), Trucking (4851), Warehousing and Storage (4931), Waste Disposal (5622), General Medical (6221), and Food Services (7223). There is a complete list on the website below
if you didn’t see your NAICS Code in my brief example. https://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/NAICScodesforelectronicsubmission.html
The lucky ones who do NOT have to worry about this sub-mission are the following:
Establishments that meet any of the following criteria DO NOT have to submit their information to OSHA’s website. Remember, these criteria apply at the establishment level, not to the firm as a whole:
- The establishment’s peak employment during the previous calendar year was 19 or fewer, regardless of the establishment’s industry.
- The establishment’s industry is on the Non-Man-datory Appendix A to Subpart B – Partially Exempt Industries list regardless of the size of the estab-lishment.
(https://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/ppt1/RK1exempttable.html) - The establishment had a peak employment be-tween 20 and 249 employees during the previous calendar year AND the establishment’s industry is not on this list. Please see the list at:
https://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/NAICScodesforelectronicsubmission.html
If you are NOT one of the lucky exemptions above, you MUST submit your 300A or 300 (depending on size) to the Injury Tracking Application (ITA) on the OSHA website between January 1, 2024 and March 2, of 2024. Here is the link:

Please stop giving your hard-earned profits to MIOSHA for this simple requirement that I’m told by those policyholders complete it, takes about 5 minutes of their time.
If you have any further questions, please contact your Loss Control Consultant, they will be happy to assist you.
