Is it recordable - employee opts to take time off, even though cleared by a doctor to return to work
An employee is involved in a vehicle accident while driving from one worksite to another during their shift. They are not badly injured and receive clearance to return to work by a doctor. The employee decides to take time off because they feel shaken up by the accident. Is it recordable?

Got this one wrong! Good learning opportunity
The employee has suffered psychological damage
Woo, got it right
Maybe...Maybe not. Depends on the physician s opinion.
Not nearly enough detail. Just being in an accident doesn't necessarily make it a recordable injury. What kind of treatment did they receive? Did they receive prescriptions? Are they having to wear a rigid brace? Etc...etc...
