No, not in and of itself. While the use of crutches could certainly be paired with prescription pain medicine or perhaps a positive x-ray and reflect an injury above and beyond a first-aid case, however, the use of crutches alone does not constitute a recordable injury.

Do crutches make an injury recordable?

In the context of workplace safety and OSHA recordkeeping requirements, the use of crutches alone does not typically make an injury recordable. Injuries are generally recordable if they result in medical treatment beyond first aid, days away from work, restricted work activity, or job transfer. However, if the injury that necessitated the use of crutches meets any of these criteria, then it would be considered recordable. It is important to accurately assess the severity and impact of the injury to determine its recordability under OSHA guidelines.
