Someone got hurt, the report is in — and now comes the question every super dreads: does this go on the OSHA 300 log? You don't have to be a recordkeeping expert. Start the guided check and just answer what actually happened.
It happened on the job — so it's presumed work-related. None of the narrow exceptions apply — this wasn't a parking-lot commute or somebody's lunch. It's a new case, not a flare-up of one already on the log. No fatality, thankfully. He didn't miss a day of work. And he stayed on his regular job — no light duty. But the clinic closed the cut with stitches. Here's where the check earns its keep: bandages are first aid — stitches are not.
OSHA's first-aid list is closed and exhaustive, and wound closure isn't on it — so the engine proposes recordable, and cites the exact regulation behind every step. The actual rule text is one click away. You stay the decider. Accept the proposal — or record something different, and your override goes on the record next to what was proposed. Defensible either way.
And when the comp claim shows up, link it right here on the incident — so the injury and its claim are one record, not two spreadsheets. Recordable or not, eight-hour report or none — you answer plain questions, and the regulation does the walking.
