Can a restaurants fire worker over broken dishes?
Most likely. It depends on several criteria. If the employee works in an 'at-will' state and there is no clause in the company handbook that termination must be 'for cause,' then the employee can fire any employee at any time with no notice. However, if the employee hand requires termination 'for-cause' (that is, a reason for termination), the termination would be based on whether or not the broken dishes constitute a breach of the terms of employment specified in the employee handbook. In this case, my guess is that a single broken dish would not qualify as a breach, and that an employer would not fire an employee for such a reason. However, if the dishes were broken in an act of malice, or if the employee consistantly breaks dishes this could surely be considered a documented sign of either insubordination or utter incompetence in the fulfillment of assigned duties. Thus, the employer could terminate 'for-cause.'
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.
Is an arm splint an OSHA recordable event?
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.
