Recordable Incident/Injury/Illness

1. Synonyms: Recordable Injury, Recordable Case, Recordable Illness, Total Recordable Case;
2. HSE: Regardless of where signs or symptoms surface, a case is recordable only if a work event or exposure is a discernable cause of the injury or illness or of a significant aggravation to a preexisting condition. An injury or illness that is work-related and results in one of the following:
   • Fatality (FTL)
   • Lost Time Incident (LTI)
   • Restricted Work Case (RWC)
   • Medical Treatment Case (MTC)

Injuries or illnesses should not be evaluated on the time spent seeking medical treatment or undergoing evaluation. If an examination reveals that no medical treatment is required, and/or the case is not diagnosed as significant by the treating physician or licensed health care professional, the case is not recordable.

A person who sustains a work-related injury or illness requiring treatment that meets recordable incident criteria, and is terminated for drug use based on a post-incident drug test, the incident is recordable. [Source: IADC]
