As used in this rule, unless the context clearly requires otherwise:

(1) "Establishment": A single physical location where business is conducted or where services or industrial operation are performed.

(2) "First aid" is any one-time treatment, and any follow up visit for the purpose of observation, or minor scratches, cuts, burns, splinters, and so forth, which do not ordinarily require medical care. Such one-time treatment, and follow up visit for the purpose of observation, is considered first aid even though provided by a physician or registered professional personnel.

(3) "Lost workdays": The number of days (consecutive or not) after, but not including, the day of injury or illness during which the employee would have worked but could not do so; that is, could not perform all or any part of his normal assignment during all or any part of the workday or shift, because of the occupational injury or illness.

(4) "Medical treatment" includes treatment administered by a physician or by registered professional personnel under the standing orders of a physician. Medical treatment does not include first aid treatment even though provided by a physician or registered professional personnel.

(5) "Recordable occupational injuries or illnesses" are any occupational injuries or illnesses which result in:

(a) fatalities, regardless of the time between the injury and death, or the length of the illness; or

(b) lost workday cases, other than fatalities, that result in lost workdays; or

(c) nonfatal cases without lost workdays which result in transfer to another job or termination of employment, or required medical treatment (other than first aid) or involve: loss of consciousness or restriction of work or motion. This category also includes any diagnosed occupational illnesses which are reported to the employer but are not classified as fatalities or lost workdays cases.
