Medical Treatment Case

Medical Treatment Case (MTC). A medical treatment case is defined as an incident other
than a fatality, lost work day case or restricted work day case and in which:

• Treatment is carried out by a physician or licensed medical personnel, or would normally

have been carried out under the supervision of a Doctor,
(and)

• There is an impairment of bodily functions (i.e. normal use of senses, limbs, etc.)
• There is damage to the physical structure of a non-superficial nature (e.g. fractures)
• There are complications requiring follow up medical treatment
• There is loss of consciousness in the work place
In general medical treatments are any medical attention, which is more serious than just a
one-time treatment by first aid. As a guide a "yes" answer to the following questions would
be a medical treatment case:

• Treatment of infection?
• Antiseptic during second or subsequent visits to medical personnel?
• Treatment for second or third degree burns?
• Application of sutures (stitches)?
• Application of butterfly adhesive dressings?
• Removal of foreign body embedded in eye?
• Complicated removal of foreign bodies from wound?
• Use of prescription medications?
• Soaking therapy (hot or cold) during second or subsequent visits to medical personnel?
• Cutting away of dead skin (surgical debridement)?
• Application of heat therapy during second or subsequent visits?
• Whirlpool bath therapy during second or subsequent visits to medical personnel?
• Positive X-ray diagnosis (fractures, broken bones, etc.)?
• Admission to a hospital for treatment (more than observation)?
