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 445.2001, 445.2011, 445.2025, 445.2030, and

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 the MIOSHA  
Management Information Systems Section at www.michigan.gov/recordkeeping,  
or telephone 517-284-7788.

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  
Page 2  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
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.  
(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  
Page 3  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
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 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  
Page 9  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
environment includes 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 408.2211  
0a(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)  
Page 10  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
R 408.2211  
0a(5)  
YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO RECORD  
INJURIES AND ILLNESSES IF...  
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.  
(b)  
(c)  
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.  
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)  
(e)  
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.  
The injury or illness is solely the result of personal grooming,  
self-medication for a non-work-related condition, or is  
intentionally self-inflicted.  
(f)  
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.  
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:

When a traveling employee checks into

away from home." You must evaluate the  
employee's activities after he or she  
checks into the hotel, motel, or other  
temporary residence for his or her  
work-relatedness in the same manner as  
you 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 on a personal detour from a  
reasonably direct route of travel, that 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.  
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.  
Page 14  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
(c) Restricted work or transfer to another job.  
(d) Medical treatment beyond first-aid.  
(e) Loss of consciousness.  
(2) You must consider a case to meet the general recording criteria if it  
involves a significant injury or illness diagnosed by a physician or other licensed  
health care professional, 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.  
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  
Page 15  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
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.  
(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  
Page 16  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
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.  
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  
Page 17  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
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 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  
Page 18  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
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.  
(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.  
Page 19  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
(d) Using wound coverings such as bandages, Band-aidsTM, gauze pads, or  
the like; or using butterfly bandages or Steri-stripsTM. 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 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  
Page 20  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
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.  
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  
Page 21  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
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.

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.  
(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.

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 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  
Page 23  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
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.”  
(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  
Page 25  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
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 information describing the privacy concern case  
may be personally identifiable even though the employee's name has been  
Page 26  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
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.

(2) Do I need to keep MIOSHA injury and illness records for short-term  
establishments, that is, establishments that will exist for less than a year? Yes.  
However, you are not required to keep a separate MIOSHA 300 Log for each such  
establishment. You may keep 1 MIOSHA 300 Log that covers all of your short-term

injuries and illnesses on a MIOSHA 300 Log that covers short-term establishments  
for individual company divisions 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 27  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
(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.

also must record the recordable injuries and illnesses that occur to employees who  
are not on your payroll if you supervise these employees on a day-to-day basis. If  
your business is organized as a sole proprietorship or partnership, the owner or  
partners are not considered employees for recordkeeping purposes.  
(2) All of the following apply to implementation of subrule (1) of this rule:  
(a) If a self-employed person is injured or becomes ill while doing work at my  
business, do I need to record the injury or illness? No, self-employed individuals  
are not 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 service, employee leasing service, personnel

(iii) If you are using an equivalent form other than the MIOSHA 300A Summary  
form, as permitted under R 408.22129(5), the summary you use must also include  
the employee access and employer penalty statements found on the MIOSHA  
300A form.  
(c) How do I certify the annual summary? A company executive must certify  
that he or she has examined the MIOSHA 300 Log and that he or she reasonably

(2) Implementation. What must I do to make sure that employees report  
work-related injuries and illnesses to me?  
(a) You must establish a reasonable procedure for employees to report  
work-related injuries and illnesses promptly and accurately. A procedure is not  
reasonable if it would deter or discourage a reasonable employee from accurately  
reporting a workplace injury or illness.  
(b) You must inform each employee of your procedure for reporting  
work-related injuries and illnesses.  
(c) You must inform each employee of both of the following:  
(i) Employees have the right to report work-related injuries and illnesses.

(3) Am I required to give my employees and their representatives access to  
the MIOSHA injury and illness records? Yes, your employees, former employees,  
their personal representatives, and their authorized employee representatives  
have the right to access the MIOSHA injury and illness records, with some  
limitations, as follows:  
(a) Who is an authorized employee representative? An authorized employee  
representative is an authorized collective bargaining agent of employees.  
(b) Who is a "personal representative" of an employee or former employee?  
A personal representative is either of the following:  
(i) Any person who the employee or former employee designates in writing.  
(ii) The legal representative of a deceased or legally incapacitated employee  
or former employee.  
(c) If an employee or representative asks for access to the MIOSHA 300 Log,  
when am I required to provide it? When an employee, former employee, personal  
representative, or authorized employee representative asks for copies of your  
current or stored MIOSHA 300 Log or Logs for an establishment the employee or  
former employee has worked in, you must give the requester a copy of the relevant  
MIOSHA 300 Log or Logs by the end of the next business day.  
(d) May I remove the names of the employees or any other information from  
the MIOSHA 300 Log before I give copies to an employee, former employee, or  
employee representative? No, you must leave the names on the 300 Log.  
However, to protect the privacy of injured and ill employees, you may not record  
the employee's name on the MIOSHA 300 Log for certain "privacy concern cases,"  
as specified in R 408.22129(7) to (10).  
(e) If an employee or representative asks for access to the MIOSHA 301

MIOSHA 301 Incident Reports for an establishment where the agent represents  
employees under a collective bargaining agreement, you must give copies of those  
forms to the authorized employee representative within 7 calendar days.  
You are only required to give the authorized employee representative  
information from the MIOSHA 301 Incident Report section titled "tell us about the  
case." You must remove all other information from the copy of the MIOSHA 301  
Incident Report or the equivalent substitute form that you give to the authorized  
employee representative.  
(f) May I charge for the copies? No, you may not charge for these copies the  
first time they are provided. However, if one of the designated persons asks for  
additional copies, you may assess a reasonable charge for retrieving and copying  
the records.

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.  
(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  
Page 38  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
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.

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.
