MIOSHA ADMINISTRATIVE STANDARD

(By authority conferred on the department of labor and economic opportunity by section

69 of the Michigan occupational safety and health act, 1974 PA 154, MCL 408.1069, and

Executive Reorganization Order Nos. 1996-2, 2003-1, 2008-4, 2011-4, and 2019-3, MCL

PART 11. RECORDING AND REPORTING OF OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES

AND ILLNESSES

R 408.22101 Scope.

Rule 1101. These rules provide for recordkeeping and reporting by public and private

employers covered under the act as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of the act, for

developing information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries and

illnesses, and for maintaining a program of collection, compilation, and analysis of

occupational safety and health statistics. R 408.22103 lists employers who are partially

exempted from keeping work-related injury and illness records.

History: 1979 AC; 2001 AACS; 2015 AACS.

R 408.22102 Intent.

Rule 1102. (1) These rules are substantially identical to the federal occupational safety

and health act (OSHA) recordkeeping and reporting requirements, as contained in 29

C.F.R., §1904 “Recording and Reporting of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses” amended

2016, as adopted in R 408.22102a, to assure that employers maintaining records pursuant

to these rules are in compliance with the federal requirements and need not maintain

additional records or submit additional reports pursuant to the federal regulations.

R 408.21119 of this standard pertains to the use of OSHA forms.

(2) This standard does not supersede the recordkeeping and reporting requirements

prescribed by sections 18 and 24 of Public Law 91-596, 29 U.S.C. §§667 and 673.

(3) If an employer creates records to comply with another government agency's injury

and illness recordkeeping requirements, MIOSHA will consider the records as complying

with these rules if OSHA or MIOSHA accepts the other agency's records under a

memorandum of understanding with that agency, or if the other agency's records contain

the same information as these rules requires an employer to record. For help in determining

whether an employer's records meet MIOSHA's requirements, an employer may contact

R 408.22103 Exceptions; applicability; petitions.

Rule 1103. (1) Both of the following provisions apply to exemptions based on

employee numbers and industry classifications:

(a) If your company had 10 or fewer employees at all times during the last calendar

year, you do not need to keep MIOSHA injury and illness records unless MIOSHA, the

United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), or the United States Department of Labor

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), informs you, in writing, that you

must keep records according to R 408.22141, R 408.22141a, R 408.22141b, or R

408.22142. However, as required by R 408.22139, all employers covered by the act shall

report to MIOSHA any workplace incident that results in a fatality, inpatient

hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye.

Page 2

(b) If your company had more than 10 employees at any time during the last calendar

year, you must keep MIOSHA injury and illness records unless your establishment is

classified as a partially exempt industry under this rule.

(2) Both of the following provisions apply to implementation of employee number-

based exemptions:

(a) Is the partial exemption for size based on the size of my entire company or on the

size of an individual business establishment? The partial exemption for size is based on the

number of employees in the entire company.

(b) How do I determine the size of my company to find out if I qualify for the partial

exemption for size? To determine if you are exempt because of size, you must determine

your company's peak employment during the last calendar year. If you did not have more

than 10 employees at any time in the last calendar year, then your company qualifies for

the partial exemption for size.

(3) Both of the following provisions apply to basic requirements for partial exemption

for establishments in certain industries:

(a) If your business establishment is classified in a specific industry group listed in

Appendix A of R 408.22160, you do not need to keep MIOSHA injury and illness records

unless MIOSHA, BLS, or OSH, informs you, in writing, that you must keep the records

according to R 408.22141, R 408.22141a, R 408.22141b, or R 408.22142. However, all

employers must report to MIOSHA any workplace incident that results in an employee’s

fatality, inpatient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye as required by R 408.22139.

(b) If 1 or more of your company's establishments are classified in a nonexempt

industry, then you must keep MIOSHA injury and illness records for all of the

establishments unless your company is partially exempted because of size under these

rules.

(4) Is the partial industry classification exemption based on the industry classification

of my entire company or on the classification of individual business establishments

operated by my company? The partial industry classification exemption applies to

individual business establishments. If a company has several business establishments

engaged in different classes of business activities, some of the company’s establishments

may be required to keep records, while others may be partially exempt.

(5) How do I determine the correct North American Industry Classification System

(NAICS) code for my company or for individual establishments? You may determine your

NAICS code by using 1 of the following methods, or you may contact your nearest OSHA

office or state agency for help in determining your NAICS code:

(a) You may use the search feature at the U.S. Census Bureau NAICS main Web

page: http://www.census.gov/naics/. In the search box for the most recent NAICS, enter a

keyword that describes your kind of business. A list of primary business activities

containing that keyword and the corresponding NAICS codes will appear. Choose the 1

code that most closely corresponds to your primary business activity or refine your search

to obtain other choices.

(b) Rather than searching through a list of primary business activities, you may also

view the most recent complete NAICS structure with codes and titles by clicking on the

link for the most recent NAICS on the U.S. Census Bureau NAICS main Web page:

https://www.census.gov/naics. Then click on the 2-digit sector code to see all the NAICS

Page 3

codes under that sector. Then choose the 6-digit code of your interest to see the

corresponding definition, as well as cross-references and index items, when available.

(c) If you know your old standard industrial classification (SIC) code, you can also

find the appropriate 2002 NAICS code by using the detailed conversion (concordance)

between the 1987 SIC and 2002 NAICS available in Excel format for download at the

‘‘Concordances’’ link at the U.S. Census Bureau NAICS main Web page:

https://www.census.gov/naics.

(6) The department of labor and economic opportunity shall supply copies of the

forms provided for in these rules and compile, correct, and analyze data obtained pursuant

to these rules. The department shall process petitions for exceptions to these rules from

public employers. OSHA shall process petitions for exceptions from private employers to

ensure uniformity between federal and state rules.

History: 2001 AACS; 2015 AACS.

R 408.22110 Basic requirement.

Rule 1110. You must consider an injury or illness to be work-related if an event or

exposure in the work environment either caused or contributed to the resulting condition

or significantly aggravated a preexisting injury or illness. Work-relatedness is presumed

for injuries and illnesses resulting from events or exposures occurring in the work

environment, unless an exception in R 408.22110a(5) specifically applies.

History: 2001 AACS; 2015 AACS.

Editor's Note: An obvious error in R 408.22110 was corrected at the request of the promulgating agency,

pursuant to Section 56 of 1969 PA 306, as amended by 2000 PA 262, MCL 24.256. The rule containing the

error was published in Annual Administrative Code Supplement, 2015. The memorandum requesting the

correction was published in Michigan Register, 2017 MR 6.

R 408.22110a Implementation.

Rule 1110a. (1) What is the "work environment"? MIOSHA defines the work

environment as “the establishment and other locations where 1 or more employees are

working or are present as a condition of their employment. The work environment includes

Page 8

not only physical locations, but also the equipment or materials used by the employee

during the course of his or her work.”

(2) May 1 business location include 2 or more establishments? Normally, 1 business

location has only 1 establishment. Under limited conditions, an employer may consider 2

or more separate businesses that share a single location to be separate establishments. An

employer may divide 1 location into 2 or more establishments only when all of the

following provisions apply:

(a) Each of the establishments represents a distinctly separate business.

(b) Each business is engaged in a different economic activity.

(c) A single industry description in the North American Industry Classification

System Manual (NAICS) does not apply to the joint activities of the establishments

(d) Separate reports are routinely prepared for each establishment on the number of

employees, their wages and salaries, sales or receipts, and other business information. For

example, if an employer operates a construction company at the same location as a lumber

yard, the employer may consider each business to be a separate establishment.

(3) May an establishment include more than 1 physical location? Yes, but only under

certain conditions. An employer may combine 2 or more physical locations into a single

establishment only when all of the following provisions apply:

(a) The employer operates the locations as a single business operation under common

management.

(b) The locations are all located in close proximity to each other.

(c) The employer keeps 1 set of business records for the locations, such as records on

the number of employees, their wages and salaries, sales or receipts, and other kinds of

business information. For example, 1 manufacturing establishment might include the main

plant, a warehouse a few blocks away, and an administrative services building across the

street.

(4) If an employee telecommutes from home, is his or her home considered a separate

establishment? No. For an employee who telecommutes from home, the employee's home

is not a business establishment and a separate 300 Log is not required. An employee who

telecommutes must be linked to 1 of your establishments under R 408.22130(4).

(5) Are there situations where an injury or illness occurs in the work environment and

is not considered work-related? Yes. An injury or illness occurring in the work

environment that falls under any of the following exceptions is not work-related, and

therefore is not recordable:

R 408.22110

a(5)

YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO RECORD

INJURIES AND ILLNESSES IF...

At the time of the injury or illness, the employee was present in the

work environment as a member of the general public rather than as an

employee.

(a)

(b)

The injury or illness involves signs or symptoms that surface at

work but result solely from a non-work-related event or exposure that

occurs outside the work environment.

Page 9

R 408.22110

a(5)

YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO RECORD

INJURIES AND ILLNESSES IF...

The injury or illness results solely from voluntary participation in

a wellness program or in a medical, fitness, or recreational activity such

as blood donation, physical examination, flu shot, exercise class,

racquetball, or baseball.

(c)

The injury or illness is solely the result of an employee eating,

drinking, or preparing food or drink for personal consumption whether

bought on the employer's premises or brought in. For example, if the

employee is injured by choking on a sandwich while in the employer's

establishment, the case would not be considered work-related.

Note: If the employee is made ill by ingesting food contaminated

by workplace contaminants, such as lead, or gets food poisoning from

food supplied by the employer, then the case would be considered

work-related.

(d)

The injury or illness is solely the result of an employee doing

personal tasks, unrelated to his or her employment, at the establishment

outside of the employee's assigned working hours.

(e)

(f)

The injury or illness is solely the result of personal grooming,

self-medication for a non-work-related condition, or is intentionally

self-inflicted.

The injury or illness is caused by a motor vehicle accident and

occurs on a company parking lot or company access road while the

employee is commuting to or from work.

(g)

(h)

The illness is the common cold or flu. Note: Contagious diseases

such as tuberculosis, brucellosis, hepatitis A, or plague are considered

work-related if the employee is infected at work.

The illness is a mental illness. Mental illness will not be considered

work-related unless the employee voluntarily provides the employer

with an opinion from a physician or other licensed health care

professional who has appropriate training and experience, such as a

psychiatrist, psychologist, psychiatric nurse practitioner, or the like,

stating that the employee has a mental illness that is work-related.

R 408.22110b How to handle unusual cases.

Page 10

Rule 1110b. (1) How do I handle a case if it is not obvious whether the precipitating

event or exposure occurred in the work environment or occurred away from work? In these

situations, you must evaluate the employee's work duties and environment to decide

whether or not 1 or more events or exposures in the work environment either caused or

contributed to the resulting condition or significantly aggravated a preexisting condition.

(2) How do I know if an event or exposure in the work environment "significantly

aggravated" a preexisting injury or illness? A preexisting injury or illness has been

significantly aggravated, for purposes of MIOSHA injury and illness recordkeeping, when

an event or exposure in the work environment results in any of the following:

(a) Death, if the preexisting injury or illness would likely not have resulted in death

but for the occupational event or exposure.

(b) Loss of consciousness, provided that the preexisting injury or illness would likely

not have resulted in loss of consciousness but for the occupational event or exposure.

(c) One or more days away from work, or days of restricted work, or days of job

transfer that otherwise would not have occurred but for the occupational event or exposure.

(d) Medical treatment in a case where medical treatment was not needed for the injury

or illness before the workplace event or exposure, or a change in medical treatment was

necessitated by the workplace event or exposure.

(3) Which injuries and illnesses are considered preexisting conditions? An injury or

illness is a preexisting condition if it resulted solely from a non-work-related event or

exposure that occurred outside the work environment.

(4) How do I decide whether an injury or illness is work-related if the employee is on

travel status at the time the injury or illness occurs? Injuries and illnesses that occur while

an employee is on travel status are work-related if, at the time of the injury or illness, the

employee was engaged in work activities "in the interest of the employer." Examples of

such activities include travel to and from customer contacts, conducting job tasks, and

entertaining or being entertained to transact, discuss, or promote business. Work-related

entertainment includes only entertainment activities being engaged in at the direction of

the employer.

(5) Injuries or illnesses that occur when the employee is on travel status do not have

to be recorded if the injuries or illnesses meet any of the following exceptions:

must evaluate the employee's activities after he

evaluate the activities of a non-traveling

employee. When the employee checks into the

temporary residence, he or she is considered to

have left the work environment. When the

employee begins work each day, he or she re-

enters the work environment. If the employee

has established a "home away from home" and is

reporting to a fixed worksite each day, you also

do not consider injuries or illnesses work-related

if they occur while the employee is commuting

between the temporary residence and the job

location.

Injuries or illnesses are not considered

work-related if they occur while the employee is

(6) How do I decide if a case is work-related when the employee is working at home?

Injuries and illnesses that occur while an employee is working at home, including work in

a home office, will be considered work-related if the injury or illness occurs while the

employee is performing work for pay or compensation in the home, and the injury or illness

is directly related to the performance of work rather than to the general home environment

or setting. For example, if an employee drops a box of work documents and injures his or

her foot, the case is considered work-related. If an employee's fingernail is punctured by a

needle from a sewing machine used to perform garment work at home, becomes infected

and requires medical treatment, the injury is considered work-related. If an employee is

injured because he or she trips on the family dog while rushing to answer a work phone

call, the case is not considered work-related. If an employee working at home is

electrocuted because of faulty home wiring, the injury is not considered work-related.

R 408.22111 Determination of new cases.

Page 12

Rule 1111. (1) Basic requirement. You must consider an injury or illness to be

a "new case" if either of the following applies:

(a) The employee has not previously experienced a recorded injury or illness of

the same type that affects the same part of the body.

(b) The employee previously experienced a recorded injury or illness of the same

type that affected the same part of the body but had recovered completely (all

signs and symptoms had disappeared) from the previous injury or illness and an event

or exposure in the work environment caused the signs or symptoms to reappear.

(2) Implementation. When an employee experiences the signs or symptoms of a

chronic work-related illness, do I need to consider each recurrence of signs or symptoms

to be a new case? No, for occupational illnesses where the signs or symptoms may recur

or continue in the absence of an exposure in the workplace, the case must only be

recorded once. Examples include occupational cancer, asbestosis, byssinosis, and

silicosis.

(3) When an employee experiences the signs or symptoms of an injury or illness

as a result of an event or exposure in the workplace, such as an episode of occupational

asthma, must I treat the episode as a new case? Yes, because the episode or recurrence

was caused by an event or exposure in the workplace, the incident must be treated as a

new case.

(4) May I rely on a physician or other licensed health care professional to determine

whether a case is a new case or a recurrence of an old case? You are not required to seek

the advice of a physician or other licensed health care professional. However, if you do

seek such advice, you must follow the physician or other licensed health care

professional's recommendation about whether the case is a new case or

a

recurrence. If you receive recommendations from 2 or more physicians or other

licensed health care professionals, you must make a decision as to which

recommendation is the most authoritative (best documented, best reasoned, or most

authoritative), and record the case based upon that recommendation.

GENERAL RECORDING CRITERIA

R 408.22112 Basic requirement.

Rule 1112. (1) You must consider an injury or illness to meet the general recording

criteria, and therefore to be recordable, if the injury or illness results in any of the following:

(a) Death.

(b) Days away from work.

(c) Restricted work or transfer to another job.

(d) Medical treatment beyond first-aid.

History: 1979 AC; 2001 AACS; 2002 AACS; 2015 AACS.

R 408.22112a Implementation.

Rule 1112a. (1) How do I decide if a case meets 1 or more of the general recording

criteria? A work-related injury or illness must be recorded if it results in 1 or more of the

following:

(a) Death. See subrule (2) of this rule.

(b) Days away from work. See R 408.22112b.

(c) Restricted work or transfer to another job. See R 408.22112c.

(d) Medical treatment beyond first-aid. See R 408.22112d.

(e) Loss of consciousness. See R 408.22112e.

(f) A significant injury or illness diagnosed by a physician or other licensed health

care professional. See R 408.22112f.

(2) How do I record a work-related injury or illness that results in the employee's

death? You must record an injury or illness that results in death by entering a check mark

on the MIOSHA 300 Log in the space for cases resulting in death. You must also report

any work-related fatality to MIOSHA within 8 hours, as required by R 408.22139.

History: 2015 AACS; 2016 AACS.

R 408.22112b Record work-related injury or illness that results in days away from

work.

Rule 1112b. (1) How do I record a work-related injury or illness that results in days

away from work? When an injury or illness involves 1 or more days away from work, you

must record the injury or illness on the MIOSHA 300 Log with a check mark in the space

for cases involving days away and an entry of the number of calendar days away from work

in the number of days column. If the employee is out for an extended period of time, you

must enter an estimate of the days that the employee will be away, and update the day count

when the actual number of days is known.

(2) Do I count the day on which the injury occurred or the illness began? No. You

begin counting days away on the day after the injury occurred or the illness began.

(3) How do I record an injury or illness when a physician or other licensed health care

professional recommends that the worker stay at home but the employee comes to work

anyway? You must record these injuries and illnesses on the MIOSHA 300 Log using the

check box for cases with days away from work and enter the number of calendar days away

recommended by the physician or other licensed health care professional. If a physician or

other licensed health care professional recommends days away, you should encourage your

employee to follow that recommendation. However, the days away must be recorded

whether the injured or ill employee follows the physician or licensed health care

professional's recommendation or not. If you receive recommendations from 2 or more

physicians or other licensed health care professionals, you may make a decision as to which

recommendation is the most authoritative, and record the case based upon that

recommendation.

Page 14

(4) How do I handle a case when a physician or other licensed health care professional

recommends that the worker return to work but the employee stays at home anyway? In

this situation, you must end the count of days away from work on the date the physician or

other licensed health care professional recommends that the employee return to work.

(5) How do I count weekends, holidays, or other days the employee would not have

worked anyway? You must count the number of calendar days the employee was unable

to work as a result of the injury or illness, regardless of whether or not the employee was

scheduled to work on those days. Weekend days, holidays, vacation days, or other days off

are included in the total number of days recorded if the employee would not have been able

to work on those days because of a work-related injury or illness.

(6) How do I record a case in which a worker is injured or becomes ill on a Friday and

reports to work on a Monday, and was not scheduled to work on the weekend? You need

to record this case only if you receive information from a physician or other licensed health

care professional indicating that the employee should not have worked, or should have

performed only restricted work, during the weekend. If so, you must record the injury or

illness as a case with days away from work or restricted work, and enter the day counts, as

appropriate.

(7) How do I record a case in which a worker is injured or becomes ill on the day

before scheduled time off such as a holiday, a planned vacation, or a temporary plant

closing? You need to record a case of this type only if you receive information from a

physician or other licensed health care professional indicating that the employee should

not have worked, or should have performed only restricted work, during the scheduled time

off. If so, you must record the injury or illness as a case with days away from work or

restricted work, and enter the day counts, as appropriate.

(8) Is there a limit to the number of days away from work I must count? Yes. You

may "cap" the total days away at 180 calendar days. You are not required to keep track of

the number of calendar days away from work if the injury or illness resulted in more than

180 calendar days away from work or days of job transfer or restriction, or both. In such a

case, entering 180 in the total days away column will be considered adequate.

(9) May I stop counting days if an employee who is away from work because of an

injury or illness retires or leaves my company? Yes. If the employee leaves your company

for some reason unrelated to the injury or illness, such as retirement, a plant closing, or to

take another job, you may stop counting days away from work or days of restriction or job

transfer. If the employee leaves your company because of the injury or illness, you must

estimate the total number of days away or days of restriction or job transfer and enter the

day count on the MIOSHA 300 Log.

(10) If a case occurs in one year but results in days away during the next calendar

year, do I record the case in both years? No. You only record the injury or illness once.

You must enter the number of calendar days away for the injury or illness on the MIOSHA

300 Log for the year in which the injury or illness occurred. If the employee is still away

from work because of the injury or illness when you prepare the annual summary, estimate

the total number of calendar days you expect the employee to be away from work, use this

number to calculate the total for the annual summary, and then update the initial log entry

later when the day count is known or reaches the 180-day cap.

History: 2015 AACS; 2016 AACS.

Page 15

R 408.22112c Record work-related injury or illness that results in restricted work

or job transfer.

Rule 1112c. (1) How do I record a work-related injury or illness that results in

restricted work or job transfer? When an injury or illness involves restricted work or job

transfer but does not involve death or days away from work, you must record the injury or

illness on the MIOSHA 300 Log by placing a check mark in the space for job transfer or

restriction and an entry of the number of restricted or transferred days in the restricted

workdays column.

(2) How do I decide if the injury or illness resulted in restricted work? Restricted work

occurs when, as the result of a work-related injury or illness, either of the following occurs:

(a) You keep the employee from performing 1 or more of the routine functions of his

or her job, or from working the full workday that he or she would otherwise have been

scheduled to work.

(b) A physician or other licensed health care professional recommends that the

employee not perform 1 or more of the routine functions of his or her job, or not work the

full workday that he or she would otherwise have been scheduled to work.

(3) What is meant by "routine functions"? For recordkeeping purposes, an employee's

routine functions are those work activities the employee regularly performs at least once

per week.

(4) Am I required to record restricted work or job transfer if it applies only to the day

on which the injury occurred or the illness began? No. You are not required to record

restricted work or job transfers if you, or the physician or other licensed health care

professional, impose the restriction or transfer only for the day on which the injury occurred

or the illness began.

(5) If you or a physician or other licensed health care professional recommends a work

restriction, is the injury or illness automatically recordable as a "restricted work" case? No.

A recommended work restriction is recordable only if it affects 1 or more of the employee's

routine job functions. To determine whether this is the case, you must evaluate the

restriction in light of the routine functions of the injured or ill employee's job. If the

restriction from you or the physician or other licensed health care professional keeps the

employee from performing 1 or more of his or her routine job functions, or from working

the full workday the injured or ill employee would otherwise have worked, the employee's

work has been restricted and you must record the case.

(6) How do I record a case where the worker works only for a partial work shift

because of a work-related injury or illness? A partial day of work is recorded as a day of

job transfer or restriction for recordkeeping purposes, except for the day on which the

injury occurred or the illness began.

(7) If the injured or ill worker produces fewer goods or services than he or she would

have produced before the injury or illness, but otherwise performs all of the routine

functions of his or her work, is the case considered a restricted work case? No. The case is

considered restricted work only if the worker does not perform all of the routine functions

of his or her job or does not work the full shift that he or she would otherwise have worked.

(8) How do I handle vague restrictions from a physician or other licensed health care

professional, such as that the employee engage only in "light duty" or "take it easy for a

week"? If you are not clear about the physician or other licensed health care professional's

Page 16

recommendation, you may ask that person whether the employee can do all of his or her

routine job functions and work all of his or her normally assigned work shift. If the answer

to both of these questions is "yes," then the case does not involve a work restriction and

does not have to be recorded as such. If the answer to 1 or both of these questions is "no,"

the case involves restricted work and must be recorded as a restricted work case. If you are

unable to obtain this additional information from the physician or other licensed health care

professional who recommended the restriction, then record the injury or illness as a case

involving restricted work.

(9) What do I do if a physician or other licensed health care professional recommends

a job restriction meeting MIOSHA's definition, but the employee does all of his or her

routine job functions anyway? You must record the injury or illness on the MIOSHA 300

Log as a restricted work case. If a physician or other licensed health care professional

recommends a job restriction, you should ensure that the employee complies with that

restriction. If you receive recommendations from 2 or more physicians or other licensed

health care professionals, you may make a decision as to which recommendation is the

most authoritative, and record the case based upon that recommendation.

(10) How do I decide if an injury or illness involved a transfer to another job? If you

assign an injured or ill employee to a job other than his or her regular job for part of the

day, the case involves transfer to another job. Note: This does not include the day on which

the injury or illness occurred.

(11) Are transfers to another job recorded in the same way as restricted work cases?

Yes. Both job transfer and restricted work cases are recorded in the same box on the

MIOSHA 300 Log. For example, if you assign, or a physician or other licensed health care

professional recommends that you assign, an injured or ill worker to his or her routine job

duties for part of the day and to another job for the rest of the day, the injury or illness

involves a job transfer. You must record an injury or illness that involves a job transfer by

placing a check in the box for job transfer.

(12) How do I count days of job transfer or restriction? You count days of job transfer

or restriction in the same way you count days away from work, using R 408.22112b (2) to

(9). The only difference is that, if you permanently assign the injured or ill employee to a

job that has been modified or permanently changed in a manner that eliminates the routine

functions the employee was restricted from performing, you may stop the day count when

the modification or change is made permanent. You must count at least 1 day of restricted

work or job transfer for such cases.

History: 2015 AACS; 2016 AACS.

R 408.22112d Recording injury or illness that involves medical treatment beyond

first-aid.

Rule 1112d. (1) How do I record an injury or illness that involves medical treatment

beyond first-aid? If a work-related injury or illness results in medical treatment beyond

first-aid, you must record it on the MIOSHA 300 Log. If the injury or illness did not involve

death, 1 or more days away from work, 1 or more days of restricted work, or 1 or more

days of job transfer, you enter a check mark in the box for cases where the employee

received medical treatment but remained at work and was not transferred or restricted.

Page 17

(2) What is the definition of medical treatment? "Medical treatment" means the

management and care of a patient to combat disease or disorder. For the purposes of these

rules, medical treatment does not include any of the following:

(a) Visits to a physician or other licensed health care professional solely for

observation or counseling.

(b) The conduct of diagnostic procedures, such as X-rays and blood tests, including

the administration of prescription medications used solely for diagnostic purposes, such as

eye drops to dilate pupils.

(c) "First-aid" as defined in subrule (3) of this rule.

(3) What is "first-aid"? For the purposes of these rules, "first-aid" means any of the

following:

(a) Using a nonprescription medication at nonprescription strength. For medications

available in both prescription and nonprescription form, a recommendation by a physician

or other licensed health care professional to use a nonprescription medication at

prescription strength is considered medical treatment for recordkeeping purposes.

(b) Administering tetanus immunizations. Administering other immunizations, such

as hepatitis B vaccine or rabies vaccine, is considered medical treatment.

(c) Cleaning, flushing, or soaking wounds on the surface of the skin.

(d) Using wound coverings such as bandages, Band-aids^TM, gauze pads, or the like;

or using butterfly bandages or Steri-strips^TM. Using other wound closing devices, such as

sutures, staples, or the like, is considered medical treatment.

(e) Using hot or cold therapy.

(f) Using any nonrigid means of support, such as elastic bandages, wraps, nonrigid

back belts, or the like. Using devices that have rigid stays or other systems designed to

immobilize parts of the body is considered medical treatment for recordkeeping purposes.

(g) Using temporary immobilization devices while transporting an accident victim,

such as splints, slings, neck collars, back boards, and the like.

(h) Drilling of a fingernail or toenail to relieve pressure, or draining fluid from a

blister.

(i) Using eye patches.

(j) Removing foreign bodies from the eye using only irrigation or a cotton swab.

(k) Removing splinters or foreign material from areas other than the eye by irrigation,

tweezers, cotton swabs, or other simple means.

(l) Using finger guards.

(m) Using massages. Physical therapy or chiropractic treatment is considered medical

treatment for recordkeeping purposes.

(n) Drinking fluids for relief of heat stress.

(4) Are any other procedures included in first-aid? No. This is a complete list of all

treatments considered first-aid for the purposes of these rules.

(5) Does the professional status of the person providing the treatment have any effect

on what is considered first-aid or medical treatment? No. MIOSHA considers the

treatments listed in subrule (3) of this rule to be first-aid regardless of the professional

status of the person providing the treatment. Even when these treatments are provided by

a physician or other licensed health care professional, they are considered first-aid.

Similarly, MIOSHA considers treatment beyond first-aid to be medical treatment even

Page 18

when it is provided by someone other than a physician or other licensed health care

professional

(6) What if a physician or other licensed health care professional recommends medical

treatment but the employee does not follow the recommendation? If a physician or other

licensed health care professional recommends medical treatment, you should encourage

the injured or ill employee to follow that recommendation. However, you must record the

case even if the injured or ill employee does not follow the physician or other licensed

health care professional's recommendation.

History: 2015 AACS; 2016 AACS.

R 408.22112e Record of work-related injury or illness case involving loss of

consciousness recordable.

Rule 1112e. Is every work-related injury or illness case involving a loss of

consciousness recordable? Yes. You must record a work-related injury or illness if the

worker becomes unconscious, regardless of the length of time the employee remains

unconscious.

History: 2015 AACS.

R 408.22112f "Significant" diagnosed injury or illness that is recordable,

Rule 1112f. What is a "significant" diagnosed injury or illness that is recordable under

the general criteria, even if it does not result in death, days away from work, restricted work

or job transfer, medical treatment beyond first-aid, or loss of consciousness? Work-related

cases involving cancer, a chronic irreversible disease, a fractured or cracked bone, or a

punctured eardrum must always be recorded under the general criteria at the time of

diagnosis by a physician or other licensed health care professional.

Note: Most significant injuries and illnesses will result in 1 of the criteria listed in

R 408.22112, such as death, days away from work, restricted work or job transfer, medical

treatment beyond first-aid, or loss of consciousness. However, there are some significant

injuries, such as a punctured eardrum or a fractured toe or rib, for which neither medical

treatment nor work restrictions may be recommended. In addition, there are certain

significant progressive diseases, such as byssinosis, silicosis, and certain types of cancer,

for which medical treatment or work restrictions may not be recommended at the time of

diagnosis but are likely to be recommended as the disease progresses. Cancer, chronic

irreversible diseases, fractured or cracked bones, and punctured eardrums are generally

considered significant injuries and illnesses, and must be recorded at the initial diagnosis

even if medical treatment or work restrictions are not recommended, or are postponed, in

a particular case.

History: 2015 AACS.

R 408.22113 Recording criteria for needlestick and sharps injuries.

Page 19

Rule 1113. (1) You must record all work-related needlestick injuries and cuts from

sharp objects that are contaminated with another person’s blood or other potentially

infectious material, as defined in Occupational Health Standard Part 554 “Bloodborne

Infectious Diseases,” as referenced in R 408.22102a. You must enter the case on the

MIOSHA 300 Log as an injury. To protect the employee’s privacy, you may not enter the

employee’s name on the MIOSHA 300 Log (see the requirements for privacy cases in

R 408.22129(7) to (10).

(2) What does "other potentially infectious material” mean? The term "other

potentially infectious material” is defined in R 408.22107(2). These materials include the

following:

(a) Human bodily fluids, tissues, and organs.

(b) Other materials infected with the HIV or hepatitis B (HBV) virus, such as

laboratory cultures or tissues from experimental animals.

(3) Does this mean that I must record all cuts, lacerations, punctures, and scratches?

No, you need to record cuts, lacerations, punctures, and scratches only if they are

work-related and involve contamination with another person’s blood or other potentially

infectious material. If the cut, laceration, or scratch involves a clean object, or a

contaminant other than blood or other potentially infectious material, you need to record

the case only if it meets 1 or more of the recording criteria in R 408.22112 to R 408.22112f.

(4) If I record an injury and the employee is later diagnosed with an infectious

bloodborne disease, do I need to update the MIOSHA 300 Log? Yes, you must update the

classification of the case on the MIOSHA 300 Log if the case results in death, days away

from work, restricted work, or job transfer. You must also update the description to identify

the infectious disease and change the classification of the case from an injury to an illness.

(5) What if one of my employees is splashed or exposed to blood or other potentially

infectious material without being cut or scratched? Do I need to record this incident? You

need to record such an incident on the MIOSHA 300 Log as an illness if any of the

following provisions apply:

(a) It results in the diagnosis of a bloodborne illness, such as HIV, hepatitis B, or

hepatitis C.

(b) It meets 1 or more of the recording criteria in R 408.22112 to R 408.22112f.

History: 1979 AC; 2001 AACS; 2015 AACS; 2016 AACS.

R 408.22114 Recording criteria for cases involving medical removal under

MIOSHA standards.

Rule 1114. (1) Basic requirement. If an employee is medically removed under the

medical surveillance requirements of an MIOSHA standard, you must record the case on

the MIOSHA 300 Log.

(2) All of the following apply to implementation of subrule (1) of this rule:

(a) How do I classify medical removal cases on the MIOSHA 300 Log? You must

enter each medical removal case on the MIOSHA 300 Log as either a case involving days

away from work or a case involving restricted work activity, depending on how you decide

to comply with the medical removal requirement. If the medical removal is the result of a

chemical exposure, you must enter the case on the MIOSHA 300 Log by checking the

"poisoning" column.

Page 20

(b) Do all of MIOSHA's standards have medical removal provisions? No, some

MIOSHA standards, such as the standards covering bloodborne pathogens and noise, do

not have medical removal provisions. Many MIOSHA standards that cover specific

chemical substances have medical removal provisions. These standards include, but are not

limited to, lead, cadmium, methylene chloride, formaldehyde, and benzene.

(c) Am I required to record a case where I voluntarily removed the employee from

exposure before the medical removal criteria in a MIOSHA standard are met? No, if the

case involves voluntary medical removal before the medical removal levels required by a

MIOSHA standard, you do not need to record the case on the MIOSHA 300 Log.

History: 1979 AC; 1983 AACS; 2001 AACS; 2016 AACS.

R 408.22115 Recording criteria for cases involving occupational hearing loss, after

January 1, 2003.

Rule 1115. (1) If an employee's hearing test (audiogram) reveals that the employee

has experienced a work-related standard threshold shift (STS) in hearing in 1 or both ears,

and the employee's total hearing level is 25 decibels (dB) or more above audiometric zero

(averaged at 2000, 3000, and 4000 Hz) in the same ear or ears as the STS, you must record

the case on the MIOSHA 300 Log, column 5.

(2) What is a standard threshold shift? A standard threshold shift, or STS, is defined

in Occupational Health Standard Part 380 “Occupational Noise Exposure in General

Industry” as referenced in R 408.22102a, as a change in hearing threshold, relative to the

baseline audiogram for that employee, of an average of 10 decibels (dB) or more at 2000,

3000, and 4000 hertz (Hz) in 1 or both ears.

(3) How do I evaluate the current audiogram to determine whether an employee has

an STS and a 25 dB hearing level?

(a) If the employee has never previously experienced a recordable hearing loss, then

you must compare the employee's current audiogram with that employee's baseline

audiogram. If the employee has previously experienced a recordable hearing loss, then you

must compare the employee's current audiogram with the employee's revised baseline

audiogram, which is the audiogram reflecting the employee's previous recordable hearing

loss case.

(b) 25 dB loss. Audiometric test results reflect the employee's overall hearing ability

in comparison to audiometric zero. Therefore, using the employee's current audiogram, you

must use the average hearing level at 2000, 3000, and 4000 Hz to determine if the

employee's total hearing level is 25 dB or more.

(4) May I adjust the current audiogram to reflect the effects of aging on hearing? Yes.

When you are determining whether an STS has occurred, you may age adjust the

employee's current audiogram results by using Table 4, as appropriate, from Occupational

Health Standard Part 380 “Occupational Noise Exposure in General Industry” as

referenced in R 408.22102a. You may not use an age adjustment when determining

whether the employee's total hearing level is 25 dB or more above audiometric zero.

(5) Am I required to record the hearing loss if I am going to retest the employee's

hearing? No. If you retest the employee's hearing within 30 days of the first test, and the

retest does not confirm the recordable STS, you are not required to record the hearing loss

case on the MIOSHA 300 Log. If the retest confirms the recordable STS, you must record

Page 21

the hearing loss illness within 7 calendar days of the retest. If subsequent audiometric

testing performed under the testing requirements of Occupational Health Standard Part 380

“Occupational Noise Exposure in General Industry” as referenced in R 408.22102a,

indicates that an STS is not persistent, then you may erase or line-out the recorded entry.

(6) Are there any special rules for determining whether a hearing loss case is

work-related? No. You must use the requirements in R 408.22110 to R 408.22110b to

determine if the hearing loss is work-related. If an event or exposure in the work

environment either caused or contributed to the hearing loss, or significantly aggravated a

pre-existing hearing loss, you must consider the case to be work-related.

(7) If a physician or other licensed health care professional determines that the hearing

loss is not work-related or has not been significantly aggravated by occupational noise

exposure, you are not required to consider the case work-related or to record the case on

the MIOSHA 300 Log.

(8) How do I complete the MIOSHA 300 Log for a hearing loss case? When you enter

a recordable hearing loss case on the MIOSHA 300 Log, you must check the 300 Log

column for hearing loss.

R 408.22117 Recording criteria for work-related tuberculosis cases.

Rule 1117. (1) If any of your employees has been occupationally exposed to anyone

with a known case of active tuberculosis (TB), and that employee subsequently develops a

tuberculosis infection, as evidenced by a positive skin test or diagnosis by a physician or

other licensed health care professional, you must record the case on the MIOSHA 300 Log

by checking the "respiratory condition" column.

(2) Am I required to record, on the log, a positive TB skin test result obtained at a

pre-employment physical? No. You are not required to record it because the employee was

not occupationally exposed to a known case of active tuberculosis in your workplace.

(3) May I line-out or erase a recorded TB case if I obtain evidence that the case was

not caused by occupational exposure? Yes. You may line-out or erase the case from the

log under any of the following circumstances:

(a) The worker is living in a household with a person who has been diagnosed with

active TB.

(b) The department of community health has identified the worker as a contact of an

individual with a case of active TB unrelated to the workplace.

(c) A medical investigation shows that the employee's infection was caused by

exposure to TB away from work, or proves that the case was not related to the workplace

TB exposure.

R 408.22129 Forms.

Rule 1129 (1) You must use MIOSHA 300A, 300, and 301 forms, or equivalent forms,

and shall complete the forms in the detail required by the forms and the instructions

contained in the forms for the purpose of recording recordable injuries and illnesses. The

MIOSHA forms are the following:

(a) MIOSHA Form 300A “Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses.”

(b) MIOSHA Form 300 “Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses.”

Page 23

(c) MIOSHA Form 301 “Injury and Illness Incident Report.”

(2) What do I need to do to complete the MIOSHA 300 Log? You must enter

information about your business at the top of the MIOSHA 300 Log, enter a 1 or 2-line

description for each recordable injury or illness, and summarize this information on the

MIOSHA 300A at the end of the year.

(3) What do I need to do to complete the MIOSHA 301 Incident Report? You must

complete a MIOSHA 301 Incident Report form, or an equivalent form, for each recordable

injury or illness entered on the MIOSHA 300 Log.

(4) How quickly must each injury or illness be recorded? You must enter each

recordable injury or illness on the MIOSHA 300 Log and 301 Incident Report within 7

calendar days of receiving information that a recordable injury or illness has occurred.

(5) What is an equivalent form? An equivalent form is a form that has the same

information, is as readable and understandable, and is completed using the same

instructions as the MIOSHA form it replaces. Many employers use an insurance form

instead of the MIOSHA 301 Incident Report, or supplement an insurance form by adding

any additional information required by MIOSHA.

(6) May I keep my records on a computer? Yes. If the computer can produce

equivalent forms when they are needed as described under R 408.22135 and R 408.22140

you may keep your records using the computer system.

(7) Are there situations where I do not put the employee's name on the forms for

privacy reasons? Yes. If you have a "privacy concern case” you may not enter the

employee's name on the MIOSHA 300 Log. Instead enter "privacy case" in the space

normally used for the employee's name. This will protect the privacy of the injured or ill

employee when another employee a former employee or an authorized employee

representative is provided access to the MIOSHA 300 Log under R 408.22135(3). You

must keep a separate confidential list of the case numbers and employee names for your

privacy concern cases so you can update the cases and provide the information to the

government if asked to do so.

(8) How do I determine if an injury or illness is a privacy concern case? You must

consider all of the following injuries or illnesses to be privacy concern cases:

(a) An injury or illness to an intimate body part or the reproductive system.

(b) An injury or illness resulting from a sexual assault.

(c) Mental illnesses.

(d) HIV infection, hepatitis, or tuberculosis.

(e) Needlestick injuries and cuts from sharp objects that are contaminated with another

person's blood or other potentially infectious material. See R 408.22113(2) and

R 408.22107(2) for definitions.

(f) Other illnesses, if the employee independently and voluntarily requests that his or

her name not be entered on the log. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are not considered

privacy concern cases.

(9) May I classify any other types of injuries and illnesses as privacy concern cases?

No. The list in subrule(8) of this rule is a complete list of all injuries and illnesses

considered privacy concern cases for the purposes of these rules.

(10) If I have removed the employee's name, but still believe that the employee may

be identified from the information on the forms, is there anything else that I can do to

further protect the employee's privacy? Yes. If you have a reasonable basis to believe that

Page 24

information describing the privacy concern case may be personally identifiable even

though the employee's name has been omitted, you may use discretion in describing the

injury or illness on both the MIOSHA 300 and 301 forms. You must enter enough

information to identify the cause of the incident and the general severity of the injury or

illness, but you do not need to include details of an intimate or private nature. For example,

a sexual assault case could be described as "injury from assault," or an injury to a

reproductive organ could be described as "lower abdominal injury."

(11) What must I do to protect employee privacy if I wish to provide access to the

MIOSHA forms 300 and 301 to persons other than government representatives, employees,

former employees, or authorized representatives? If you decide to voluntarily disclose the

forms to persons other than government representatives, employees, former employees, or

authorized representatives, as required by R 408.22135 and R 408.22140, you must remove

or hide the employees' names and other personally identifying information, except for the

following cases. You may disclose the forms with personally identifying information only

as follows:

(a) To an auditor or consultant hired by the employer to evaluate the safety and health

program.

(b) To the extent necessary for processing a claim for workers' compensation or other

insurance benefits.

(c) To a public health authority or law enforcement agency for uses and disclosures

for which consent, an authorization, or opportunity to agree or object is not required under

the United States Department of Health and Human Services Standards for privacy of

individually identifiable health information, 45 C.F.R. §164.512 “Uses and disclosures for

which an authorization or opportunity to agree or object is not required,” amended January

6, 2016, as adopted in R 408.22102a.

or geographic regions.

(3) May I keep the records for all of my establishments at my headquarters location

or at some other central location? Yes. You may keep the records for an establishment at

your headquarters or other central location if you comply with both of the following

provisions:

(a) Transmit information about the injuries and illnesses from the establishment to the

central location within 7 calendar days of receiving information that a recordable injury or

illness has occurred.

Page 25

(b) Produce and send the records from the central location to the establishment within

the time frames required by R 408.22135 and R 408.22140 when you are required to

provide records to a government representative, employees, former employees, or

employee representatives.

(4) Some of my employees work at several different locations or do not work at any

of my establishments at all. How do I record cases for these employees? You must link

each of your employees with 1 of your establishments, for recordkeeping purposes. You

must record the injury and illness on the MIOSHA 300 Log of the injured or ill employee's

establishment, or on a MIOSHA 300 Log that covers that employee's short-term

establishment.

(5) How do I record an injury or illness when an employee of 1 of my establishments

is injured or becomes ill while visiting or working at another of my establishments, or while

working away from any of my establishments? If the injury or illness occurs at 1 of your

establishments, you must record the injury or illness on the MIOSHA 300 Log of the

establishment at which the injury or illness occurred. If the employee is injured or becomes

ill and is not at 1 of your establishments, you must record the case on the MIOSHA 300

Log at the establishment at which the employee normally works.

covered by these rules.

(b) If I obtain employees from a temporary help service, employee leasing service, or

personnel supply service, am I required to record an injury or illness occurring to one of

those employees? You must record these injuries and illnesses if you supervise these

employees on a day-to-day basis.

(c) If an employee in my establishment is a contractor's employee, must I record an

injury or illness occurring to that employee? If the contractor's employee is under the

day-to-day supervision of the contractor, the contractor is responsible for recording the

injury or illness. If you supervise the contractor employee's work on a day-to-day basis,

you must record the injury or illness.

(d) Must the personnel supply service, temporary help service, employee leasing

service, or contractor also record the injuries or illnesses occurring to temporary, leased, or

contract employees that I supervise on a day-to-day basis? No, you and the temporary help

alternative recordkeeping system provides all of the following:

(a) Collects the same information as this standard requires.

(b) Meets the purposes of the act.

(c) Does not interfere with the administration of the occupational safety and health act

of 1970, 29 U.S.C. §651 et seq.

as would be collected by these rules and achieve the purpose of the occupational safety and

health act of 1970, 29 U.S.C. §651 et seq.

(g) A statement that you have informed your employees of the petition by giving them

or their authorized representative a copy of the petition and by posting a statement

summarizing the petition in the same way as notices are posted under 29 C.F.R. 1903.2

Page 30

“Posting of notice; availability of the Act, regulations and applicable standards” rule (a),

as adopted in R 408.22102a.

(3) How will the assistant secretary handle my variance petition? The assistant

secretary will take the following steps to process your variance petition:

(a) The assistant secretary will offer your employees and their authorized

representatives an opportunity to submit written data, views, and arguments about your

variance petition.

(b) The assistant secretary may allow the public to comment on your variance petition

by publishing the petition in the Federal Register. If the petition is published, the notice

will establish a public comment period and may include a schedule for a public meeting on

the petition.

(c) After reviewing your variance petition and any comments from your employees

and the public, the assistant secretary will decide if your proposed recordkeeping

procedures will meet the purposes of the occupational safety and health act of 1970, 29

U.S.C. §651 et seq., will not otherwise interfere with the act, and will provide the same

information as the 29 C.F.R. §1904 “Recording and Reporting of Occupational Injuries

and Illnesses” as amended 2016, as adopted in R 408.22102a, regulations provide. If your

procedures meet these criteria, the assistant secretary may grant the variance subject to

such conditions as he or she finds appropriate.

(d) If the assistant secretary grants your variance petition, OSHA will publish a notice

in the Federal Register to announce the variance. The notice will include the practices the

variance allows you to use, any conditions that apply, and the reasons for allowing the

variance.

(4) If I apply for a variance, may I use my proposed recordkeeping procedures while

the assistant secretary is processing the variance petition? No. Alternative recordkeeping

practices are only allowed after the variance is approved. You must comply with the 29

C.F.R §1904 “Recording and Reporting of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses,” as

amended 2016, as adopted in R 408.22102a, regulations while the assistant secretary is

reviewing your variance petition.

(5) If I have already been cited by MIOSHA for not following these rules, will my

variance petition have any effect on the citation and penalty? No. In addition, the assistant

secretary may elect not to review your variance petition if it includes an element for which

you have been cited and the citation is still under review by a court, an administrative law

judge (ALJ), or the MIOSHA review commission.

(6) If I receive a variance, may the assistant secretary revoke the variance at a later

date? Yes, the assistant secretary may revoke your variance if he or she has good cause.

The procedures revoking a variance will follow the same process as OSHA uses for

reviewing variance petitions, as provided in subrule (3) of this rule. Except in cases of

willfulness or where necessary for public safety, the assistant secretary will do both of the

following:

(a) Notify you in writing of the facts or conduct that may warrant revocation of your

variance.

(b) Provide you, your employees, and authorized employee representatives with an

opportunity to participate in the revocation procedures.

R 408.22141a Implementation.

Rule 1141a. (1) Does every employer have to routinely make an annual electronic

submission of information from Part 11 injury and illness recordkeeping forms to OSHA?

No, only 3 categories of employers must routinely submit information from these forms.

The first category consists of establishments that had 20–249 employees at any time during

the previous calendar year and are classified in an industry listed in Appendix B of R

408.22161. Establishments in this category must submit the required information from

Form 300A to OSHA once a year. The second category consists of establishments that had

250 or more employees at any time during the previous calendar year and are required by

Part 11 to keep records. Establishments in this category must submit the required

information from Form 300A to OSHA once a year. The third category consists of

establishments that had 100 or more employees at any time during the previous calendar

year and are classified in an industry in Appendix C of R 408.22162. Establishments in this

category must also submit the required information from Forms 300 and 301 to OSHA

once a year, in addition to the required information from Form 300A. Employers in these

3 categories must submit the required information by the date listed in R 408.22141b of

the year after the calendar year covered by the form or forms, for example, 2024 for the

2023 forms. If your establishment is not in any of these 3 categories, then you must submit

the information to OSHA only if MIOSHA or OSHA notifies you to do so for an individual

data collection.

(2) Do part-time, seasonal, or temporary workers count as employees in the criteria

for number of employees in R 408.22141? Yes, each individual employed in the

establishment at any time during the calendar year counts as 1 employee, including full-

time, part-time, seasonal, and temporary workers.

Page 35

(3) How will MIOSHA or OSHA notify me that I must submit information as part of

an individual data collection under R 408.22141(3)? MIOSHA or OSHA will notify you

by mail if you have to submit information as part of an individual data collection under R

408.22141(3). MIOSHA or OSHA will also announce individual data collections through

publication in the Federal Register, the OSHA newsletter, announcements on the OSHA

website or other means. If you are an employer who must routinely submit the information,

then OSHA will not notify you about your routine submittal.

(4) When do I have to submit the information? If you are required to submit

information under R 408.22141(1) or (2), then you must submit the information once a

year, by the date listed in R 408.22141b of the year after the calendar year covered by the

form, for example, 2019 for the 2018 form. If you are submitting information because

MIOSHA or OSHA notified you to submit information as part of an individual data

collection under R 408.22141(3), then you must submit the information as specified in the

notification.

(5) How do I submit the information? You must submit the information

electronically. OSHA will provide a secure website for the electronic submission of

information. For individual data collections under R 408.22141(3), OSHA will include the

website’s location in the notification for the data collection.

(6) Am I required to submit information if my establishment is partially exempt from

keeping OSHA injury and illness records? If you are partially exempt from keeping injury

and illness records under R 408.22103, then you are not required to routinely submit

information under R 408.22141(1) or (2). You will have to submit information under R

408.22141(3) if OSHA informs you in writing that it will collect injury and illness

information from you. If you receive such a notification, then you must keep the injury

and illness records required by this standard and submit information as directed.

(7) Am I required to submit information if I am located in a State Plan State? Yes,

the requirements apply to employers located in State Plan States.

(8) May an enterprise or corporate office electronically submit information for its

establishment or establishments? Yes, if your enterprise or corporate office had ownership

of or control over 1 or more establishments required to submit information under R

408.22141, then the enterprise or corporate office may collect and electronically submit

the information for the establishment or establishments.

(9) If I have to submit information under R 408.22141, do I have to submit all of the

information from the recordkeeping forms? No, you are required to submit all of the

information from the forms except the following:

(a) Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, OSHA Form 300: Employee name,

column B.

(b) Injury and Illness Incident Report, OSHA Form 301: Employee name, field 1,

employee address, field 2, name of physician or other healthcare professional, field 6,

facility name and address if treatment was given away from the worksite, field 7.

(10) My company uses numbers or codes to identify our establishments. May I use

numbers or codes as the establishment name in my submission? Yes, you may use numbers

or codes as the establishment name. However, the submission must include a legal

company name, either as part of the establishment name or separately as the company

name.

year, some employers will receive a BLS survey form and others will not. You do not

have to send injury and illness data to the BLS unless you receive a survey form.

(b) If I get a survey form from the BLS, what do I have to do? If you receive a

survey of occupational injuries and illnesses form from the bureau of labor statistics

(BLS), or a BLS designee, you must promptly complete the form and return it,

following the instructions contained on the survey form.

(c) Do I have to respond to a BLS survey form if I am normally exempt from

keeping MIOSHA injury and illness records? Yes, even if you are exempt from keeping

injury and illness records under R 408.22103, the BLS may inform you in writing that it

will be collecting injury and illness information from you in the coming year. If you

receive such a letter, you must keep the injury and illness records required by R

408.22110 to R 408.22119 and make a survey report for the year covered by the survey.

(d) Do I have to answer the BLS survey form if I am located in a state-plan
