Sec.  1904.41  Annual OSHA injury and illness survey of ten or more 

employers.

    (a) Basic requirement. If you receive OSHA's annual survey form, you 
must fill it out and send it to OSHA or OSHA's designee, as stated on 
the survey form. You must report the following information for the year 
described on the form:
    (1) the number of workers you employed;
    (2) the number of hours worked by your employees; and
    (3) the requested information from the records that you keep under 
Part 1904.
    (b) Implementation--(1) Does every employer have to send data to 
OSHA? No, each year, OSHA sends injury and illness survey forms to 
employers in certain industries. In any year, some employers will 
receive an OSHA survey form and others will not. You do not have to send 
injury and illness data to OSHA unless you receive a survey form.
    (2) How quickly do I need to respond to an OSHA survey form? You 
must send the survey reports to OSHA, or OSHA's

designee, by mail or other means described in the survey form, within 30 
calendar days, or by the date stated in the survey form, whichever is 
later.
    (3) Do I have to respond to an OSHA survey form if I am normally 
exempt from keeping OSHA injury and illness records? Yes, even if you 
are exempt from keeping injury and illness records under Sec.  1904.1 to 
Sec.  1904.3, OSHA may inform you in writing that it will be collecting 
injury and illness information from you in the following year. If you 
receive such a letter, you must keep the injury and illness records 
required by Sec.  1904.5 to Sec.  1904.15 and make a survey report for 
the year covered by the survey.
    (4) Do I have to answer the OSHA survey form if I am located in a 
State-Plan State? Yes, all employers who receive survey forms must 
respond to the survey, even those in State-Plan States.
    (5) Does this section affect OSHA's authority to inspect my 
workplace? No, nothing in this section affects OSHA's statutory 
authority to investigate conditions related to occupational safety and 
health.
