Which of the following injuries would generally NOT be recordable on the Cal/OSHA Form 300 log?
Explanation
Section 14300.7 makes a case recordable when it results in death, days away from work, restricted work or transfer to another job, medical treatment beyond first aid, loss of consciousness, or a significant injury diagnosed by a licensed health care professional. Section 14300.7(b)(5)(ii) then gives a closed list of what counts as FIRST AID, and cleaning a wound and applying a bandage or butterfly closure is on it, which is why (d) stays off the log. Options (a) and (b) are two of the recording criteria in plain words. Option (c) is the one candidates miss: a prescription medication counts as medical treatment at prescription strength whether or not the worker actually takes it, so the course of antibiotics makes the case recordable.
