OSHA recordkeeping · 29 CFR 1904
Is a dog bite on a customer's property OSHA recordable?
It is work-related, because a job site is a work environment even when it is someone's home. Whether it goes on the log depends on the care: cleaning and bandaging is first aid, while prescription antibiotics or a rabies vaccine are medical treatment. This example assumes prescription antibiotics.
Why
- Treatment went beyond OSHA's first-aid list. 29 CFR 1904.7(b)(5)
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.
