Today's Question: John Henry was an employee for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. He was known as the best hand on the job for his great strength and even stronger work ethic and character. No man drove more steel than John Henry. In fact, John Henry could do the steel driving of several men himself. One day, a salesman arrived on the job site touting a machine that could do the work of 12 men. Worried the machine would replace him and his co-workers, John Henry decided to take on the machine in a steel driving competition. The salesman told the company that if John Henry outworked the machine, they could have it free of cost. John Henry’s supervisor obliged, and the competition was on. The machine was out running John Henry until he grabbed a second hammer and started driving steel with two hands. Eventually, John Henry out worked the machine and it broke down. John Henry didn’t finish working until he collapsed and died of, what doctors determined to be, heart failure. News quickly spread of John Henry’s incredible feat that took his life. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad accepted several machines free of cost from the salesman and OSHA arrived two days later after reading the news. Is it recordable?

Today's Question: An employee is sprayed in the face with a chemical and immediately loses vision. A co-worker rushes him over to the eyewash station where his eyes are continuously flushed for 15 minutes. On the way to the eye doctor, the employee’s vision returns. A doctor examines the eyes and determines the quick response to flush the injured employee’s eyes worked well. The doctor tells the employee to take the rest of the shift off to rest at home with cold wash rags over his eyes 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off until bedtime. The doctor also suggests over the counter Visine eye drops if he experiences any irritation. The doctor returns the employee to full duty the next shift. Is it recordable?

Today's Question:
A company’s COVID-19 contingency plan requires employees to clean their hands on a stringent basis. Antibacterial soap is made readily available as well as hand sanitizer. An employee is late returning from break and uses some hand sanitizer in a rush back to his workstation. The employee fails to rub the hand sanitizer all the way in and as he begins work at a metal desk, a static spark is generated. The alcohol from the hand sanitizer catches fire and burns the employee’s hand. The incident results in a second degree burn that requires prescribed antibiotic ointment and bandaging from a doctor.
