Does the new Cal/OSHA regulation require the recording of minor illnesses (e.g. a work-related skin rash that does not result in medical treatment) ?
Answer No. Illnesses are only recordable if they meet one of the general recording criteria which include days away from work, restricted work, loss of consciousness, transfer to another job, or medical treatment beyond first aid or a significant injury or illness diagnosed by a physician or other licensed health care professional.
