The fact that someone wears a wrist brace is not an injury so that is not OSHA recordable. However, if someone is injured and is receives medical treatment beyond first aid, and if part of that treatment is a requirement to wear a wrist brace, then that injury is OSHA recordable if other aspects of the injury meet the OSHA requirements for recordability.
