Illinois OSHA
By March 2, 2023, IL OSHA requires certain state and local government employers to
electronically report data from their OSHA Form 300A Annual Summary of
Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses to the federal ITA system.
For questions about your ITA account or the submission process, please see these FAQs.
IL OSHA does not have control over this U.S. Department of Labor system.
Contact IL OSHA at dol.safety@illinois.gov for questions or clarification on
general recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
It is the mission of the Illinois Department of Labor, Division of Occupational Safety and Health (IL OSHA) to ensure safe and healthy working conditions by setting and enforcing standards and providing training, outreach, education, and assistance to employers and employees throughout Illinois.
ENFORCEMENT
Occupational safety and health standards enforcement for employers in Illinois is a shared responsibility between the U.S. Department of Labor (federal OSHA) and the Illinois Department of Labor (IL OSHA).
Federal OSHA, an Administration under the U.S. Department of Labor, covers all private sector workplaces; federal agencies; maritime employers; military facilities; Native American sovereignty workplaces; and the United States Postal Service.
IL OSHA, a Division of the Illinois Department of Labor, covers all state and local government workplaces. Illinois operates as a state-plan state and IL OSHA must adopt standards that are at least as effective as federal OSHA standards.
