Michigan employers should be aware of recordkeeping and reporting obligations under MIOSHA’s Administrative Standard Part 11. As of 2024 and moving into 2025, businesses meeting certain thresholds must electronically submit injury and illness data and post summaries in the workplace.
Employers in high-hazard industries with 100 or more employees must submit electronic versions of OSHA Form 300 (Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses) and Form 301 (Incident Report) each year. Employers with 20–249 employees in those industries must submit OSHA Form 300A (Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses). All required employers must also post Form 300A visibly from February 1 through April 30.
Compliance requires accurate and complete injury logs, timely electronic submissions, and proper posting of summaries. Failure to comply may lead to citations, especially in high-hazard industries such as manufacturing, warehousing, and construction.
Proper recordkeeping not only ensures regulatory compliance but also allows employers to track trends, evaluate risks, and provide employees with transparency about workplace hazards.
