How to Fix "Sum of G-J Must Equal M1-M6"

Your 300A case classification totals do not match your injury and illness type totals.

What this means

On OSHA Form 300A, total cases in columns G, H, I, and J should equal total injury and illness type counts in M1 through M6. If those two sides do not balance, the ITA may reject the upload.

Why this happens

One side of the 300A summary was updated, but the other side was not.
A case was counted in a case outcome column but not in an injury or illness type column.
Spreadsheet formulas were copied incorrectly before CSV export.
Zero-injury files include inconsistent nonzero totals.

How to fix it manually

Add total_deaths, total_dafw_cases, total_djtr_cases, and total_other_cases.
Add total_injuries, total_skin_disorders, total_respiratory_conditions, total_poisonings, total_hearing_loss, and total_other_illnesses.
Make sure both totals are equal for each establishment row.
If no injuries or illnesses occurred, confirm all case and type totals are zero.

How ITAReady helps

ITA Ready recalculates the G-J and M1-M6 sides for every 300A row and flags the exact establishment that does not balance.
