Incidents are not recordable if the employee has symptoms that merely surfaced while at
work but were the result of a non-work related event or exposure. For example, a cold or
an infection from a cut that was received at home is not recordable. Additionally,
"activities of daily living" are not normally recordable. For example, a heart attack is
generally not considered a recordable injury, unless it was caused by a singular event or
exposure at work that caused the attack.
