Employers are required to post the Summary of Work-related Injuries and Illnesses (Form300A) in a visible location so that employees are aware of the injuries and illnesses that occur in their workplace.

Poster: All covered employers are required to display and keep displayed the OSHA "Health and Safety Protection on the Job" poster unless the employer's workplace is located in a state that operates an OSHA-approved state plan. There is a separate poster for Federal agencies. The OSHA poster must be displayed in a conspicuous place where employees and applicants for employment can see it. Reproductions or facsimiles of the poster shall be at least 8 1/2 by 14 inches with 10 point type. This poster is also available in Spanish.
