Sutures are medical treatment beyond first aid. Therefore, if the other aspects of the injury meet the definition of an OSHA Recordable event, getting sutures makes the even recordable.
Never rely on advice in a forum such as WikiAnswers when determining recordability. Always consult a sepcialist who is familiar both with the relevant OSHA regulations and the specifics of the injury and particular workplace.

If giving the cream is a preventive process, it may not make the injury recordable. If the cream is given to deal with an infection that was the result of the injury, yes, that would make the injury recordable since the cream is a prescription medication and giving it is therefore beyond first aid. All the above presumes that the circumstances of the injury or need for antibiotic treatment meet the other criteria for recordability.

Is an MRI an OSHA recordable?
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.
