Safeopedia explains No Treatment Incident

No treatment incident may not be legally required to be reported unless there is a specific instruction. However, it may be recorded depending on its type, size, gravity and historical importance.

Examples of no treatment incidents are:

Slip, trip or fall incidents which are not related to work and do not require medical treatment.
Induced temporary hearing loss due to sound of blast, explosion or high decibel noise that heals in short time without any medical treatment.
Temporary blindness due to intense light which diminishes gradually within short time without any medical intervention.
