Is this injury OSHA recordable?

Three questions, and this walks you through the 29 CFR 1904 decision — work-relatedness, whether it's a new case, and the recording criteria. Free, no account, and nothing you enter is stored.

Step 1 of 3
Did an event or exposure at work cause this, contribute to it, or make an existing condition significantly worse?
What counts as "the work environment"?

The establishment and other locations where one or more employees are working or are present as a condition of their employment — including equipment and materials used there.

This tool doesn't decide for you. It walks the decision, shows the rule at each step, and records the answers you gave, so you have them if you're ever asked. The determination is yours, and it is your record.
