**Short answer:** Not 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)](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-29/section-1904.7)
