Would You Record This Injury on the OSHA 300? This is nota reportable injury—assuming that this is the only treatment the worker is getting.

Bandaging a wound is considered a form of first aid. So, if this is the only treatment the worker receives for the injury, you wouldn't have to record it on the OSHA 300.
