Which scenario would be classified as a recordable accident according to OSHA?

Minor cuts needing band-aids
Obtaining stitches
Slight bruises
Slip without injury

The correct answer is: Obtaining stitches

A scenario that involves obtaining stitches is classified as a recordable accident according to OSHA because it indicates a more severe level of injury that requires medical treatment beyond first aid. OSHA defines recordable injuries as those that require professional medical treatment, result in loss of consciousness, or involve a restriction of work or motion. Stitches imply a significant enough injury that necessitates medical intervention, thus making it a recordable incident. In contrast, scenarios that involve minor cuts needing only band-aids, slight bruises, or a slip without injury typically fall under first aid and would not require formal reporting as recordable incidents, as they do not meet the criteria outlined by OSHA for severity or medical treatment.
