Getting an x-ray is often a diagnostic procedure and may not make an event OSHA recordable. If the X-ray does not detect an injury requiring medical treatment beyond first aid, the event is not recordable. If it does detect such a condition, it is the subsequent treatment beyond first aid that makes the event recordable, not the x-ray. The only time getting an X-ray could be OSHA recordable would be if the process were used for treatment of an injury or condition.
