What Is Michigan MIOSHA Form 300?

MIOSHA Form 300 is the Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses used by covered Michigan employers to maintain records of qualifying workplace injuries and illnesses.

The form documents information about each recordable incident, including the employee, date, description of the injury or illness, severity, and resulting work restrictions or days away from work.

Who Must Maintain Michigan Form 300?

Michigan employers subject to MIOSHA injury and illness recordkeeping requirements must maintain the appropriate records.

Some employers with 10 or fewer employees and establishments in certain lower-hazard industries may qualify for partial recordkeeping exemptions. Employers should review the current MIOSHA requirements to determine whether an exemption applies.

What Injuries and Illnesses Must Be Recorded?

Covered employers must record qualifying work-related injuries and illnesses that involve:

• Death
• Loss of consciousness
• Days away from work
• Restricted work activity
• Job transfer
• Medical treatment beyond first aid
• Certain significant diagnosed injuries or illnesses
• Other conditions meeting MIOSHA recordkeeping criteria

What Information Is Recorded on Form 300?

The Michigan Form 300 injury and illness log includes information such as:

• Employee name and job title
• Date of injury or illness
• Location of the incident
• Description of the injury or illness
• Number of days away from work
• Days of job transfer or restriction
• Classification of the injury or illness
• Other required recordkeeping information

What Is the Difference Between Forms 300, 300A and 301?

Michigan MIOSHA uses three related injury and illness recordkeeping forms:

• Form 300: Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses used to record qualifying workplace incidents.
• Form 300A: Annual Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses that covered employers must complete, certify, and display during the required posting period.
• Form 301: Injury and Illness Incident Report containing additional information about each recordable incident.

When Must a Workplace Injury Be Recorded?

Covered employers generally must enter a recordable work-related injury or illness on the Form 300 log and complete Form 301 or an equivalent incident report within seven calendar days after receiving information that a recordable incident occurred.

Does Michigan Form 300 Have to Be Posted?

No. Michigan Form 300 is a workplace injury and illness recordkeeping log and is not the form employers display annually.

Covered employers must instead display the completed MIOSHA Form 300A – Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses during the required annual posting period.

When Must Michigan Form 300A Be Posted?

Covered Michigan employers must display their completed and certified annual Form 300A summary from February 1 through April 30 of the year following the reporting year.

The annual summary must be completed even when no recordable injuries or illnesses occurred during the year, if the establishment is subject to the recordkeeping requirement.

How Long Must MIOSHA Records Be Retained?

Covered employers generally must retain MIOSHA injury and illness records for five years following the end of the calendar year covered by the records.

Employers must also comply with applicable record-access and confidentiality requirements.

Are Electronic MIOSHA Records Allowed?

Michigan permits covered employers to maintain qualifying injury and illness records electronically when the records satisfy applicable MIOSHA requirements.

Some establishments also have electronic injury and illness data submission obligations based on establishment size, industry classification, and other applicable requirements.

Does Form 300 Replace Serious Injury Reporting?

No. Maintaining Form 300 does not replace an employer's separate obligation to report qualifying work-related fatalities, hospitalizations, amputations, or loss-of-eye incidents to MIOSHA within applicable reporting deadlines.
