Mich. Admin. Code R. 408.22117 - Recording criteria for work-related tuberculosis cases
Rule 1117.
(1)
If any of your employees has been occupationally exposed to anyone with a known
case of active tuberculosis (TB), and that employee subsequently develops a
tuberculosis infection, as evidenced by a positive skin test or diagnosis by a
physician or other licensed health care professional, you must record the case
on the MIOSHA 300 Log by checking the "respiratory condition" column.
(2) Am I required to record, on the log, a
positive TB skin test result obtained at a pre-employment physical? No. You are
not required to record it because the employee was not occupationally exposed
to a known case of active tuberculosis in your workplace.
(3) May I line-out or erase a recorded TB
case if I obtain evidence that the case was not caused by occupational
exposure? Yes. You may line-out or erase the case from the log under any of the
following circumstances:
(a) The worker is
living in a household with a person who has been diagnosed with active
TB.
(b) The department of community
health has identified the worker as a contact of an individual with a case of
active TB unrelated to the workplace.
(c) A medical investigation shows that the
employee's infection was caused by exposure to TB away from work, or proves
that the case was not related to the workplace TB exposure.
