Fix an OSHA ITA Establishment Name Mismatch

Find and fix establishment_name values that do not exactly match the establishment already registered in OSHA ITA.

Why this happens

The establishment_name in case data must correspond to the establishment record used for the filing. Punctuation, abbreviations, and spacing differences can break the match.

What RuleTally checks
Administrative checks based on the current published ITA file guidance.
  • Name differences across 300A and 300/301 files
  • Leading or trailing spaces
  • Punctuation and abbreviation drift
  • Cases assigned to an unknown establishment

How to fix it

  1. 01

    Export or review the establishment list in ITA.

  2. 02

    Choose one exact canonical name per establishment.

  3. 03

    Update every related case row.

  4. 04

    Validate again before using ITA Preview.
