Is flushing debris out of an eye OSHA recordable?
Short answerNot recordable
No. Using eye patches and flushing the eye are first aid, and so is removing a foreign body from the eye using only irrigation or a cotton swab.
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.
