An employee receives a small cut on their finger while working. The on-site first aid provider cleans the wound, applies a butterfly bandage, and gives the employee a non-prescription pain reliever at its recommended dosage. Is this incident an OSHA recordable case?
-
A
Yes, because a butterfly bandage is considered a wound closing device similar to sutures.
-
B
No, because the treatment provided falls entirely under OSHA's definition of first aid.
-
C
Yes, because any administration of pain medication, prescription or not, makes an incident recordable.
-
D
No, because the employee did not have any days away from work or job restrictions.
