Steps to estimate annual average number of employees for 2022:
Step 1:
To calculate the annual average number of employees your
establishment paid during 2022, you must calculate the total number
of employees your establishment paid for all periods. Add the number
of employees your establishment paid in every pay period during
Calendar Year 2022. Count all employees that you paid at any time
during the year and include full-time, part-time, temporary, seasonal,
salaried, and hourly workers. Note that pay periods could be monthly,
weekly, bi-weekly, etc.

Example:
Acme Construction paid its employees in 12 pay periods
during 2022:

Step 2:
Divide the total number of employees (from Step 1) by the number of
pay periods your establishment had in 2022. Be sure to count any pay
periods when you had no (zero) employees.

Example:
Acme Construction had 12 pay periods and paid a total of
392 employees during these pay periods.

+26
392 (total number of employees paid
over all pay periods)

392 divided by 12 = 32.67

Step 3:
Round the answer you computed in Step 2 to the next highest whole
number. Write that number in the box for Section 1, Question 2 on the
previous page.

Example:
Acme would round 32.67 to 33.

Steps to estimate total hours worked by all employees for 2022:
Step 1:
Determine the number of full-time employees at your establishment.

Example:
Of Acme’s 33 employees in 2022, 28 were full-time.

Step 2:
Determine the number of hours generally worked by a full-time
employee for a year. Multiply the number of full-time employees you
calculated in Step 1 by this number. This total number of full-time
hours worked should exclude vacation, sick leave, holidays, and any
other non-work time.

Example:
Each of Acme’s 28 full-time employees worked an
average of 2,000 hours per year after excluding vacation,
sick leave, holidays, and other non-work time. This
works out to 40 hours per week for 50 weeks of the year.

Step 3:
Determine the number of hours of overtime worked by your full-time
employees.

Example:
Acme’s 28 full-time employees worked a total of 2,800
hours of overtime during 2022 and 56,000 regular hours.
Acme’s 5 part-time employees worked a total of 2,716
hours during 2022.

Determine the number of regular hours worked by your non-full-time
employees. (Non-full-time employees include part-time, seasonal, and
temporary employees.)
Add these numbers to the number you calculated in Step 2 above. This
is the estimated number of hours worked by all of your employees, fulltime and non-full-time, during 2022. Write this number in Section 1,
Question 3 on the previous page.

Section 3: Reporting Cases
Instructions:
1. If you had NO cases with days away from work (Column H) and NO cases with days of job transfer or restriction
(Column I), please proceed to Section 4: Contact Information.
2. If you had cases with days away from work (Column H) or cases with days of job transfer or restriction (Column I),
please complete Section 3. To identify the individual cases to report, follow these steps:
Step 1:

Go to your completed OSHA Form 300.
Note each case that has a check in Column (H) or Column (I).
These are the only cases you should report.
See the illustration in Step 3 below.

Step 2:

Fill out one Injury and Illness Case Form for each case that you identified in Step 1. You can find most of
the information on a supplementary document such as the Injury and Illness Incident Report (OSHA Form
301), a workers’ compensation report, an accident report, or an insurance form.

Step 3:

If more than one establishment is noted on the front cover under “Report for this Location,” be sure to
look at all your OSHA Form 300’s to find which cases to report.

Section 3 asks about injuries
or illnesses with a check in
Column H, Days Away from
Work or Column I, Job
Transfer or Restriction, of
your Log.

Step 4:

We have designed this survey to ensure that you do not have to report more than 8 cases. If you have more
than 8 cases, please go to Section 5: If You Need Help . . . at the back of this booklet and call the phone
number(s) listed for your State for assistance. If you need additional Injury and Illness Case Forms, you may
either photocopy a blank form or go to Section 5: If You Need Help . . . at the back of this booklet and call
the phone number(s) listed for your State.

Step 5:

When you are finished, proceed to Section 4: Contact Information on the back cover of this booklet and
provide information for the person who completed this survey.
