If an employee finds a tick on himself after leaving work and seeks medical attention is that OSHA Recordable?
Not all medical treatment is an OSHA Recordable event. If the treatment is at the level of first aid care, it is not recordable- even if performed by a physician. If the treatment is a simple one (remove tick with tweezers, clean skin, apply bandaid) that would not be a recordable. A DEEPLY EMBEDDED tick that requires numbing the skin, using a scalpel to remove tick, etc- is beyond simple first aid, and would likely be recordable.
