Sec.  50.20-7  Criteria--MSHA Form 7000-1, Section D.



    This section requires information concerning the miner's return to 

duty.

    (a) Item 28. Permanently transferred or terminated. Check this block 

if the miner's employment was terminated or if the miner was permanently 

transferred to another regular job as a direct result of the 

occupational injury or occupational illness.

    (b) Item 29. Show the date that the injured person returned to his 

regular job at full capacity (not to restricted work activity) or was 

transferred or terminated.

    (c) Item 30. Number of days away from work. Enter the number of 

work-days, consecutive or not, on which the miner would have worked but 

could not because of occupational injury or occupational illness. The 

number of days away from work shall not include the day of injury or 

onset of illness or any days on which the miner would not have worked 

even though able to work. If an employee loses a day from work solely 

because of the unavailability of professional medical personnel for 

initial observation or treatment and not as a direct consequence of the 

injury or illness, the day should not be counted as a day away from 

work.

    (d) Item 31. Number of days of restricted work activity. Enter the 

number of workdays, consecutive or not, on which because of occupational 

injury or occupational illness:

    (1) The miner was assigned to another job on a temporary basis;

    (2) The miner worked at a permanent job less than full time; or

    (3) The miner worked at a permanently assigned job but could not 

perform all duties normally connected with it. The number of days of 

restricted work activity shall not include the day of injury or onset of 

illness, or

any days the miner did not work even though able to work.



If an injured or ill employee receives scheduled follow-up medical 

treatment or observation which results in the loss of a full workday 

solely because of the unavailability of professional medical personnel, 

it will not be counted as a day of restricted work activity. Days of 

restricted work activity end as the result of any of the following:

    (i) The miner returns to his regularly scheduled job and performs 

all of its duties for a full day or shift;

    (ii) The miner is permanently transferred to another permanent job 

(which shall be reported under Item 28, Permanently Transferred or 

Terminated). If this happens, even though the miner could not perform 

this original job any longer, the Days of Restricted Work Activity will 

stop; or

    (iii) The miner is terminated or leaves the mine. (Termination shall 

also be reported under Item 28, Permanently Transferred or Terminated).
