Gently wash the burn clean with tepid, soapy water. If the skin isn't broken, just let it air-dry, then loosely bandage to keep the area clean. If the rash hasn't disappeared -- or is not greatly reduced -- in about 12 hours, consider using an antimicrobial cream or ointment, like NeoSporin. Once more, if the problem persists 12 more hours with no improvement, time to see a doctor. Steroids tend to reduce immune reaction, so they sometimes promote infection. That's one possibility; the other is you had an allergic reaction to the hydrocortisone cream. Removing it should help considerably.

Is applying silvadene cream to a burn considered an OSHA recordable injury?

Applying Silvadene cream to a burn may not necessarily qualify as an OSHA recordable injury, as the classification depends on the severity of the burn and the treatment required. If the burn is minor and only requires first aid, it typically wouldn't be recordable. However, if the burn is severe enough to require medical treatment beyond first aid, it could be considered recordable. It’s important to evaluate the specific circumstances and OSHA guidelines to make a determination.

NO. Any oil based cream will 'cake' and will act to form a sort of layer that keeps the heat in and will worsen the burn. Use a very thin very light gel or cream such as aloe vera(if you can get hold of a plant and cut the leaves its fantastic) you will need to apply very very regularly, if the burn is bad then look at applying as soon as the gel has been absorbed
