PART 11. RECORDING AND REPORTING OF OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES AND ILLNESSES

 

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.

   (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, 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 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 such 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/eos/www/naics/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 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. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the United States Department of Labor shall process petitions for exceptions from private employers to ensure uniformity between federal and state rules.

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 is 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 408.22161this part. Establishments in this category must submit the required information from Form 300A to OSHA once a year. The second category is 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 is 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 408.22162this part. 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 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.

 

R 408.22157 Revocation.

  Rule 1157. The director may revoke an exception granted under this part for failure to comply with the conditions of the exception. An opportunity for informal hearing or conference shall be afforded to the employers and affected employees or their representatives. Except in cases of willful noncompliance or where employee safety or health requires otherwise, before the commencement of an informal proceeding, the employer shall be notified in writing of the facts or conduct that may warrant the action and be given an opportunity to demonstrate or achieve compliance.
