**Short answer:** Not recordable

No, if that is all it took. Drinking fluids for relief of heat stress is on OSHA's first-aid list. Intravenous fluids, loss of consciousness or days away would make it recordable.


## 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)
