Yes, treatment for dehydration can be considered a recordable incident under OSHA regulations if it meets specific criteria. If the treatment involves medical intervention beyond first aid, such as intravenous fluids or a visit to a healthcare professional, it must be recorded. However, if the treatment is limited to first aid, such as drinking fluids, it may not need to be recorded. Always consult your organization’s safety guidelines for specific reporting requirements.

It’s important to evaluate the specific circumstances and OSHA guidelines to make a determination.

Not all medical treatment is an OSHA Recordable event. If the treatment is at the level of first aid care, it is not recordable- even if performed by a physician. If the treatment is a simple one (remove tick with tweezers, clean skin, apply bandaid) that would not be a recordable. A DEEPLY EMBEDDED tick that requires numbing the skin, using a scalpel to remove tick, etc- is beyond simple first aid, and would likely be recordable.
