**Short answer:** Not 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)](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-29/section-1904.7)
