          Subpart C_Recordkeeping Forms and Recording Criteria
 
Sec.  1904.9  Recording criteria for cases involving medical removal 
under OSHA standards.

    (a) Basic requirement. If an employee is medically removed under the 
medical surveillance requirements of an OSHA standard, you must record 
the case on the OSHA 300 Log.
    (b) Implementation--(1) How do I classify medical removal cases on 
the OSHA 300 Log? You must enter each medical removal case on the OSHA 
300 Log as either a case involving days away from work or a case 
involving restricted work activity, depending on how you decide to 
comply with the medical removal requirement. If the medical removal is 
the result of a chemical exposure, you must enter the case on the OSHA 
300 Log by checking the ``poisoning'' column.
    (2) Do all of OSHA's standards have medical removal provisions? No, 
some OSHA standards, such as the standards covering bloodborne pathogens 
and noise, do not have medical removal provisions. Many OSHA standards 
that cover specific chemical substances have medical removal provisions. 
These standards include, but are not limited to, lead, cadmium, 
methylene chloride, formaldehyde, and benzene.
    (3) Do I have to record a case where I voluntarily removed the 
employee from exposure before the medical removal criteria in an OSHA 
standard are met? No, if the case involves voluntary medical removal 
before the medical removal levels required by an OSHA standard, you do 
not need to record the case on the OSHA 300 Log.
