On the safety team where I currently work, our definition of a recordable injury is 3 part-when a person requires a perscription, a Dr.'s exam AND loss of time for an accident that occured at work. Not sure of the logic there but, it is what it is. My last place of employment considered a recordable injury as one that involved loss of time from work ONLY, such as going home or to an Emergency room. But, in both cases, a Tetanus shot is cosidered preventative medicine and was not only encouraged but, at one place even administered AT WORK.

If you step on a nail at work is that OSHA recordable?
Maybe. An OSHA recordable injury is one that involves death, lost workdays, restricted workdays, and medical care that goes beyond first aid. If stepping on the nail meant you lost days from work, or your foot became infected and required medical care, it may be a recordable. If you went to the doctor, and he gave you a tetanus shot, and you returned to work your next scheduled workday, that may NOT be recordable. (A tetanus shot is a PREVENTION, not a treatment)

Probably not - OSHA doesn't classify tetanus shots as medical treatment. However, this may depend upon whether or not being exposed to or working around dogs is part of your job - if a coworker brought a dog in on lunch break and you were bit by that dog, it is probably not recordable. If you are working in a dog daycare facility and were bit by a boarding dog, it may be recordable.

Is an injection OSHA recordable?
What is OSHA recordable is an injury requiring medical treatment beyond first aid. If an injection is given as part of treatment for an injury that was work related, then the injury may be OSHA recordable. However, if an injection is given as a precaution after a work related event, then the injury may not be recordable. An example might be a tetanus shot after stepping on a rusty nail at work.For any particular event, whether it is OSHA recordable should be determined by someone familiar with both the OSHA regulations on injury and illness recording, and with the specifics of the particular workplace and event. Never rely on advice in a form like this on to determine whether to enter any particular event in the OSHA Injury and Illness Log.
