If a first aid accident occurs that is not listed in the first aid examples, is it recordable?

• A. Yes, it is automatically recordable
• B. No, it is never recordable
• C. It is recordable if treatment goes beyond first aid
• D. It is recordable only if a supervisor approves

Answer: (C)

Recordability hinges on the level of medical treatment required, not on whether the incident matches a listed first-aid example. First aid covers only basic, minor care. If the accident prompts treatment beyond what is considered first aid—such as care by a healthcare professional or prescription medications—the event becomes recordable. So even if the incident isn’t described among the first-aid examples, it is recordable if the treatment goes beyond first aid.
