What are 'First Aid Treatments'?
When the revised injury and illness recordkeeping rule was published in 2001, OSHA made it clear that the only non-recordable treatments are the 14 items listed under "first aid" at 1904.7(b)(5)(ii). All treatments excluded from the list are considered "medical treatments" and recordable on the 300 Log.

The intent of an all-inclusive first aid list is to take the guesswork out of the decision-making process. First aid treatments are not recordable, regardless of the professional qualifications of the person providing the treatment. It doesn't matter whether the first aid is provided by a physician, registered nurse, other health care professional, or layman, it is considered "first aid" for recordkeeping purposes. Additionally, by excluding minor injuries and illnesses from the recordkeeping process, only the more serious cases are captured on the 300 Log. In general, first aid treatments:
* Are administered after the injury or illness occurs and at the immediate location.
* Consist of a one-time or short-term treatment.
* Are simple and require little or no technology.
* Can be administered by people with little training (beyond first aid training) and even by the injured or ill person.
* Are administered to keep the condition for worsening and/or while awaiting medical treatment.
