**Short answer:** Not recordable

No. Injuries from voluntary participation in a wellness program or in a medical, fitness or recreational activity are an exception. If attendance was required, the exception does not apply.


## Why

- Exception: voluntary wellness, medical, fitness or recreational activity. [29 CFR 1904.5(b)(2)](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-29/section-1904.5)
