If an employee says they're hurt, do I have to put it on the OSHA log?

No. In determining whether a case is recordable, the employer must first decide whether an injury or illness, as defined by the rule, has occurred. If the employer is uncertain about whether an injury or illness has occurred, the employer should refer the employee to a physician or other health care professional for evaluation and should consider the health care professional's opinion in determining whether a work-related injury or illness exists.
