Does heat stress need to be reported on OSHA Logs?

Heat illness cases will have to be recorded if they meet OSHA’s recording criteria. To be recordable, the condition must involve medical treatment beyond first aid. The list of first aid treatments in 1904.7 at https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1904/1904.7 includes, “1904.7(b)(5)(ii)(N) Drinking fluids for relief of heat stress.”

As an example, if an employee showed heat stress symptoms and needed a break to cool down and drink fluids, this should not be a “recordable” on the 300 Log. However, if the employee went to the hospital for IV fluid replacement, that would be recordable as medical treatment.
