For those that think this is an exaggeration or joke, it's actually not. I've definitely worked for large companies doing electrical work whereby it's standard to report every single thing that requires a Band-Aid. Filling out the paperwork is so obnoxious that I'd literally claim I have electrical tape wrapped around my fingers as a preventative measure. Some companies just encourage it more. Strong argument could be made I was in the wrong because a staph infection in one of those cuts could lead to me having to take time off and trying to explain why I didn't report the small cut.

I can understand why though. If someone comes away with just a cut it's still nice to know why because it could have been from something much more serious where the person just got lucky. It's not as if they actually care about papercuts. They care if it was a near miss or not.
