Also known as "vicarious liability."

Under the doctrine of agency (or master and servant), an employer may be liable for actions (or inactions) by employees, if the liability arises within the scope of the employment. It is imputed to the employer who has (presumably) given the employee certain powers in the employer's name.

Which injury suggests heat as a first aid treatment?

Heat is usually not a good option for first aid. Within the first 72 hours after an injury, ice is usually best since it decreases inflammation. However, if you pull a muscle or are experiencing muscle spasms (repeated and frequent sharp muscle pains) then heat may be ideal for a day or so since it may relieve some muscle tightness, decrease the spasms and abate the pain. Although the heat may increase inflammation and congestion in an area, the desire to abate serious pain and stop the continuation of spasms supersedes this worry. Hypothermia is another obvious time to use heat as first aid.

This likely varies from state-to-state. In my home state, the clinical records are a part of the permanent record for any work-related injury.

The end result is that there is generally a separate record for the work injury, although that is not intentional. It is important for the occupational doctor and the primary physician to be aware of each others' work.
