Q: An employee gets injured in 2011, but does not miss any work and is not put on restricted duty/job transfer. In 2012, that employee finds out he needs surgery form the injury and misses a month of work in 2012. How would this be inserted in the OSHA 300 logs?
A: All of the information would be inserted in the 2011 OSHA 300 form. The date of the injury would be the date the injury actually occurred even though the employee did not miss any work or was not put on restricted duty/job transfer because of that injury at the moment. Then count the days the employee missed because of the surgery and insert that information in the days away for that same injury.
