CASE-25-C — OSHA Recordability
Authored demonstration. Not a live employer result.
01 · Situation
The criteria were met. The log does not reflect them.
Illustrative treatment record shows prescription medication administered for a work-related condition; the demonstration establishes work-relatedness, employer coverage under the recordkeeping rule, and the date the employer received the necessary information, then tests whether the recording obligation was met.
02 · Evidence
What the record holds.
- E1Treatment record showing prescription medication
Verified · Day 0
- E2Work-relatedness determination and employer-coverage confirmation, establishing the employer received the necessary information on Day 0
Verified · Day 0
- E3OSHA 300 log reviewed through Day 7; no qualifying entry found
Verified · Day 7
03 · Obligations / Owners
The chain of responsibility.
- 01
Treating clinician (document treatment)
- 02
Safety officer (confirm work-relatedness and log within seven calendar days of employer receipt of information)
04 · Accountability Break
Where the chain broke.
The seven-day recording obligation ran from Day 0; no log entry is evidenced by Day 7.
05 · Next Action
The corrective obligation.
Safety officer completes the log entry immediately and documents the cause of the delay for the compliance record.
06 · Economic Boundary
Where the evidence stops.
Not established — regulatory exposure is noted, not quantified.
07 · Engine Answer
What the Engine can and cannot establish.
The safety officer was required by OSHA’s recording deadline to log this case within seven calendar days of the employer’s receipt of information on Day 0 — so by Day 7. The record establishes work-relatedness, employer coverage, and the Day 0 receipt date, and the OSHA 300 log was reviewed through Day 7 with no qualifying entry found. The Engine can demonstrate an unfulfilled recording obligation under a real, named regulatory deadline. It cannot establish why the entry was not made or what, if any, consequence followed.
The criteria were met on Day 0. The log does not reflect that as of Day 7.
