I did, indeed, end up having to fill out an accident report. Because, you know, it could get infected and turn gangrenous and require amputation. Or something.
It seems to me that a good rule of thumb would be that if you are not hurt badly enough to leave work, then there is no need for an accident report. Likewise, if you must fill out an accident report, you are obviously too hurt to continue working, and must go home. Immediately.
