Which type of job - related injury requires the employer to make a written report ?

• A. Minor Cut That Stops Bleeding
• B. Injury Requiring Medical Attention Beyond First Aid
• C. Thermal Burn
• D. Eye Strain

Answer: (B)

In safety recordkeeping, a written report is required when an injury needs medical treatment beyond first aid. That level of medical care triggers the formal recordable category, which employers document for regulatory purposes (such as OSHA/Cal/OSHA records).

The option describing an injury that requires medical attention beyond first aid fits this criterion, so it’s the correct choice. A minor cut that stops bleeding is typically handled with basic first aid and does not usually require a written report. A thermal burn that is minor can also be treated on site with first aid. Eye strain generally does not involve medical treatment beyond first aid unless it escalates to require formal medical care.
