Is a cracked fingernail an OSHA recordable?

Answer 1

If the nail was cracked as the result of a work-related incident, and if removing it is more that basic first aid, then removing it may be OSHA recordable. Always consult an expert who is familiar with OSHA regulations and with the specifics of the event when determining if something id recordable. Never rely on advice from communities like WikiAnswers when you need to assure you are complying with regulations.

Answer 2

If the injury was work related, and if the removal of the fingernail required the services of a medical professional (i.e. was not itself First Aid) then the injury is likely an OSHA Recordable injury. All the specifics of the event and succeeding treatment must be considered in making such a determination. A knowledgable person familiar with those details and the OSHA Recordability requirements should be relied upon, rather than a public forum such as this.
