Michigan Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) Practice Exam

Which of the following is a basic recording requirement under MIOSHA?

1. Days with no incidents

2. Conduct of training sessions

3. Medical treatment beyond first aid

4. Employee satisfaction surveys

The correct answer is: Medical treatment beyond first aid

The choice of medical treatment beyond first aid as a basic recording requirement under the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) is correct because MIOSHA mandates that certain workplace injuries and incidents must be documented to ensure compliance with safety regulations. When an employee receives medical treatment that goes beyond first aid for a work-related injury, it becomes necessary to record this incident as it reflects potential hazards in the workplace that need to be addressed. This documentation helps in tracking and analyzing workplace safety trends and ensuring that employers are taking steps to safeguard their employees. In contrast, recording days with no incidents does not reflect a specific requirement set by MIOSHA; rather, it is more of a general indicator of safety performance, not a mandated recording. Conducting training sessions, while important for workplace safety, is also not a MIOSHA recording requirement but rather an obligation for employers to enhance workplace safety awareness. Employee satisfaction surveys, while useful for gauging overall workplace morale and culture, do not relate directly to MIOSHA’s requirements for documenting workplace injuries or safety incidents.
