(a) The number of workers you employed;

(b) The number of hours worked by your employees; and

(c) The requested information from the records that you keep under this section.

(2) Each year, OSHA sends injury and illness survey forms to employers in certain industries. You do not have to send injury and illness data to OSHA unless you receive a survey form.

(3) You must send the survey reports to OSHA, or OSHA's designee, by mail or other means described in the survey form, within thirty calendar days, or by the date stated in the survey form, whichever is later.
