That injury and the subsequent treatment is 100% recordable. ? Only way I can think it's not is if the plaintiff had a medical event that led to the injury and not the fault of Crazy Mike.

Can you fill me in on what the treatment that made it 100% a recordable was? The people who I got my information from told me that the hospital records stated that it was limited to imaging and evaluations.

The dude was taken to the hospital immediately in an ambulance. That was absolutely a recordable injury.

False statement...

People are taken to hospitals via ambulance all of the time and are not classified as recordable injuries.

The treatment of the injured worker determines the recordability.

Maybe not try to cover it up and act like it didn’t happen. This will get reduced but the
message is clear. Don’t deny an obvious life changing injury and don’t let some moron post stupid shite.

They could and should have taken care of this in a much more professional way yet they acted completely like it didn’t happen.

And I’ve followed this for a while as I know a few people with some knowledge so I didn’t just get my opinion from the OP post.

What kind of “knowledge” did these people supposedly have?
Because unless they were standing in the ER or reviewing hospital and investigation reports with an OSHA attorney, I’m not sure how much insight they were actually bringing to the table—other than a healthy imagination and a keyboard.

Cover-up? Seriously?
If this was a “cover-up,” it has to be the most poorly executed one in history. The man was taken to the hospital in an ambulance, an investigation was launched immediately by both Brock and Phillips 66, and a worker’s comp claim was filed right away. Real covert stuff—right?

And the “moron posting stupid shite”?
If you're referring to a post on LinkedIn highlighting a team's safe performance—well, heaven forbid we acknowledge people doing good work. If the injury wasn’t classified as recordable based on medical documentation and OSHA guidelines, then the post is not only justified, it’s accurate. (Wild concept, I know.)

Do you know what treatment Mr. Valdivia actually received? Or are we just connecting dots with a crayon and calling it “insider info”?

I’ve spoken directly with an OSHA attorney and an OSHA rep—actual people whose job it is to interpret these things—and based on the medical reports, the incident didn’t meet the criteria for a recordable case. End of story.

So if we’re calling people “morons” for posting “stupid shite,” might want to check the mirror first.
