**Short answer:** Not recordable

No, not for the restriction. You don't record restricted work that is limited to the day the injury happened. If the worker is back to all routine functions the next day and nothing else applies, the case stays off the log.


## 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)
