An umbilical hernia can be considered a work-related injury and may be OSHA recordable if it meets certain criteria. If the hernia is caused or aggravated by work activities, and it results in medical treatment beyond first aid, it may need to be recorded. Employers should assess the specific circumstances surrounding the injury to determine its recordability. It's essential to consult OSHA guidelines and possibly legal counsel for accurate classification.
What else can I help you with?
As an employer what is required to be reported to OSHA if the injury is very minor and short term light duty is used or how can the claim be disputed to protect the company safety record?
Couple of different matters here- OSHA recordable, and OSHA reportable. An employer is required to report to OSHA any FATAL accident, or any accident that causes the hospitalization of 3 or more employees. Other injuries may be RECORDABLE, but are not reportable. If the worker has a medical restriction for more than the day of injury, it becomes a recordable. IF the healthcare provider returns the worker to duty, with "care not to aggravate the injury", that is not recordable as a day of restricted activity. If it is the employer's belief that this is NOT a work related injury, they may not be required to record it without other documentation. Do not confuse OSHA and Worker's Comp- two separate matters. If an employer believes an injury is not in the course and scope of employment, they may notify their Worker's Comp insurance carrier, or the State Industrial Commission, and contest the claim.
