OSHA recordkeeping · 29 CFR 1904
Are butterfly bandages or Steri-Strips OSHA recordable?
No, on their own. OSHA's first-aid list expressly includes wound coverings such as bandages, gauze pads, butterfly bandages and Steri-Strips. The case becomes recordable only if something else applies, such as stitches, prescription medication or days away.
Why
- Only first aid was given. Every treatment you checked is on OSHA's first-aid list. 29 CFR 1904.7(a)
This answer comes from the same rule-by-rule check used in the HardHat Binder OSHA log, based on the facts described above. Different facts can change the result.
