OSHA recordkeeping · 29 CFR 1904
Is a splint used only to transport an injured worker OSHA recordable?
Not by itself. Temporary immobilization devices used while transporting an accident victim — splints, slings, neck collars, back boards — are first aid. What the clinic does next decides the case.
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.
