OSHA recordkeeping · 29 CFR 1904
Is physical therapy or chiropractic treatment OSHA recordable?
Short answerRecordable — other recordable case (column J)
Yes. Physical therapy and chiropractic manipulation are medical treatment. Massage is on the first-aid list, but therapy sessions recommended by a clinician are not.
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.
