• Use one “Log Entry” block (Section 3) for each MIOSHA-recordable work-related injury or illness. Assign case numbers in order (1, 2, 3, …).

• Use an incident report (MIOSHA Form 301 or an equivalent internal form) to document detailed information for each case listed in this log.

• Update the number of days away from work and days of job transfer or restriction if they change, consistent with applicable counting rules.

• For “privacy concern” cases, list “Privacy Case” instead of the employee’s name and maintain a separate confidential list linking the case number to the employee’s identity.
