How to Fix Missing Required Fields in OSHA ITA CSV Uploads
A field OSHA marks as required is blank or missing from the CSV.
What this means
OSHA CSV templates include required establishment, summary, and case-data fields. If one of those fields is missing or blank, the upload may fail.
Why this happens
- A spreadsheet export omitted a required column.
- A row was added manually but not fully populated.
- A zero-case establishment still has blank required 300A fields.
- A 300/301 case row is missing narrative or incident details.
How to fix it manually
- Compare your headers against the official OSHA template.
- Fill required establishment and filing-year fields on every row.
- Use 0 where OSHA expects a numeric zero instead of leaving a blank.
- For 300/301 data, confirm all required case narrative fields are present.
