C. When reporting an injury or illness that qualifies as a privacy case, the employee’s

name should not be recorded on the OSHA 300 Log form. Instead, refer to the employee as “Privacy Case” and log the employee’s identity elsewhere in a confidential file. Examples of privacy cases are the injury or illness occurred to an intimate body part or the reproductive system; sexual assaults; mental illnesses; HIV infection, hepatitis, or tuberculosis; and needle-stick injuries and cuts from sharps where the objects are contaminated with another person’s blood.

D. If an employee has a minor injury that needs only first aid, such as a bandage or ice

pack, the injury does not need to be reported on the OSHA 300 Log form. This applies to first aid that takes place at the work site or a medical facility. All injuries that happen to employees who are under the supervision of the employer, which includes temporary and contract workers, must be entered on OSHA 300 Log form within seven days of the fatality, injury, or illness.

E. The following is a list of treatments recognized as first aid by OSHA. You can find a complete list by visiting www.osha.gov and typing “1904.7” in the search area.

1. Hot or cold therapy 2. Use of bandages, elastic bandages, or finger guards during first visit 3. Treatment of first-degree burns 4. Need for hot or cold therapy 5. Use of nonprescription medications 6. Easy removal of splinter or other foreign matters 7. Negative X-ray diagnosis 8. Physician observation of minor injury

F. Certain employee incidents are considered not reportable by OSHA, even if it occurs

on company property or while the employee is on the clock. Here are examples: 1. An injury that occurs while on property as a customer or visitor during

nonwork hours 2. Involvement in a vehicle accident on the way to or from work, including those

that take place in the company parking lot 3. Injuries or illnesses that result during personal functions such as eating, taking

medications, or grooming 4. Delayed symptoms from nonwork-related injuries or illnesses that happened

earlier in the day or week 5. Injuries or illnesses that occur while an employee is clocked out for lunch
