Published by SALUS

To determine if a cut finger is a recordable injury, you need to consider several factors. Generally, an injury is recordable if it results in any of the following [1]:

  • Medical treatment beyond first aid [1]
  • Loss of consciousness [1]
  • Days away from work [1]
  • Restricted work activity or job transfer [1]

First aid includes things like cleaning a wound, using bandages, and applying antiseptic [1]. If the cut finger only requires first aid, it's likely not recordable. However, if the cut requires stitches, prescription medication, or results in lost time from work, it would likely be considered a recordable injury [1].
