Since a splint must be applied by a medical professional and is beyond the scope of simply first aid, if the broken arm is a result of work-related activity, then the arm splint would be OSHA recordable - unless it was only applied as a precaution by a first aider and was later found by a medical professional not to be needed.

Externally applied splint or brace?
A splint is used to immobilise a break (in an arm or leg for example). The splint should be long enough to stop the break moving once it's in place. Simply place the splint alongside the affected limb, and secure it in place with a bandage over the whole length.
What happens if one with a broken hand or arm removes the splint and showers What happens if the broken arm or hands bones get wet?
As long as the skin isn't broken, you won't harm the arm by getting it wet. (If the skin is broken, there might be concern about infection.) The reason doctors usually caution you against showering when you have a broken bone is because the cast (or splint) itself should not get wet -- fiberglass/plaster will lose integrity and fall apart, and a splint will breed bacteria without being dried properly (so removing your splint to shower is probably a better idea than showering with a splint on). That said, if the bones shift or move while you're showering, you're going to have a lot of pain. So you're still going to want to keep your arm immobile, even if removing the splint means you don't have to keep it dry.
