MIOSHA suspends reporting of some injury and illness forms

MIOSHA is suspending enforcement of the requirement for employers to electronically submit information from the Form 300 “Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses,” and the Form 301 “Injury and Illness Incident Report” to OSHA.

The suspension is based on OSHA’s rescission of the federal rules requiring electronic submission of the Forms 300 and 301. In July 2018, OSHA stopped accepting electronic submission of the 300 and 301 data, so compliance is an impossibility. Employers still have to maintain the Forms 300 and 301 on-site.

However, certain employers still need to report Form 300A “Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses.” 

March 2 deadline

Employers with 250 or more employees must still electronically submit information from the Form 300A “Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses.” Electronic submission is also required for employers with 20 to 249 employees if they are in an industry listed in Appendix B of Part 11. The submission is an annual requirement.

The deadline for submission is March 2. The information is submitted through a secure web application at the US OSHA website. See Rules 1141 – 1141b in Part 11 for more details. More information is available at osha.gov/injuryreporting.
