1. (1) The employer must record any case that involves the medical removal of an employee on the OSHA 300 Log under the medical surveillance requirements.

2. (2) The employer must enter each medical removal case as either a case involving days away from work or a case involving restricted work activity. For medical removal cases that resulted from chemical exposure, the employer must check the "poisoning" column.

   Notes:	1. Standards that do not include medical removal provisions include bloodborne pathogens and noise.
   	2. 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. If the employer voluntarily removes an employee from exposure before the medical removal criteria are met, the employer does not have to record the case.
