An employer must record a work-related injury on OSHA Form 300 (Log of Work-Related Injuries) if the injury results in:

Explanation

Section 14300.7 makes a case recordable when the work-related injury or illness 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 physician or other licensed health care professional. Each wrong answer substitutes a different line. First aid (a) is defined by a closed list in (b)(5)(ii) - cleaning and bandaging, non-prescription medication at non-prescription strength, hot and cold therapy, a tetanus immunisation - and by definition never makes a case recordable. A report to a supervisor (b) is how the employer learns of the case and says nothing about its severity. And a workers' compensation claim (c) belongs to a different system with its own thresholds: a case can be recordable with no claim, and claimed without being recordable.
