Multiple establishments in one ITA CSV
One row for each establishment in the 300A file, one row for each case in the 300/301 file, and one name that ties them together.
Worked example: three establishments
The 300A file. One header row, then one row for each establishment (10 of the 28 columns shown):
| establishment_name | ein | city | state | zip | naics_code | size | total_dafw_cases | total_other_cases | total_injuries |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Example Co Plant 1 | 123456789 | Boston | MA | 02116 | 332311 | 22 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| Example Co Plant 2 | 123456789 | Nashua | NH | 03060 | 332311 | 21 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Example Co Warehouse | 123456789 | Hartford | CT | 06103 | 493110 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
The 300/301 file. One row for each case, and column A says which establishment it belongs to (6 of the 24 columns shown):
| establishment_name | year_of_filing | case_number | job_title | incident_outcome | type_of_incident |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Example Co Plant 1 | 2025 | 1 | Welder | 2 | 1 |
| Example Co Plant 1 | 2025 | 2 | Packer | 4 | 1 |
| Example Co Warehouse | 2025 | 1 | Forklift driver | 2 | 1 |
| Example Co Warehouse | 2025 | 2 | Picker | 4 | 1 |
The totals in the first file count the rows of the second. Plant 1 and the Warehouse each have one case with days away (incident_outcome 2) and one other recordable case (incident_outcome 4), and all four are injuries (type_of_incident 1). Deaths and transfer or restriction cases, which are not among the columns shown, are 0 in this example.
Case numbers 1 and 2 appear twice. That is allowed: a case number has to be unique within its establishment. Plant 2 has fewer than 100 employees (size 21), so it has no rows in the case file. Its one case is counted only in its 300A row.

| The 300A data must be processed before the ITA will process the case data. The order of steps | ITA FAQ |
| OSHA recommends files of 1000 records or fewer, to cut processing time. | 300A data dictionary |
| Whether an establishment must submit depends on its own industry classification, not the firm's. | ITA FAQ |
| An enterprise or corporate office may submit for the establishments it owns or controls. | 29 CFR 1904.41(b)(8) |
| "Yes, you may use numbers or codes as the establishment name. However, the submission must include a legal company name, either as part of the establishment name or separately as the company name." | 29 CFR 1904.41(b)(10) |
Several establishments in one workbook? The converter puts every establishment in one 300A file and every case in one 300/301 file.
Open the converterShort answers
Can I submit several establishments in one OSHA ITA CSV file?
Yes. The 300A file takes one row for each establishment, and the 300/301 file can hold cases for one or more establishments, each row naming its establishment in the first column.
Do I need a separate ITA account for each establishment?
No. OSHA's FAQ says the data for a firm's establishments may be submitted using one ITA account.
Can two establishments use the same case numbers?
Yes. The CSV specification requires a case number to be unique within its establishment, not across the file.
