This OSHA Injury Report was compiled directly from data that is publicly available from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA Injury Reports can be helpful in understanding the types of workplace injury claims involving defective products or malfunctioning equipment in the workplace.
The manufacturers of defective equipment or machinery resulting in a worker injury may be found to be negligent and liable for damages in a separate civil lawsuit. You may be able to recover damages on top of a workers’ comp claim if injured in a job accident caused, in part, by a third party. These third party personal injury cases should be given responsible legal guidance.
Trammell Piazza Law Firm claims no responsibility for any errors or inconsistencies in OSHA’s data.

An employee was inside the Line 25 cooler doing a clean-out to prepare for the next batch. The machine was locked out, but the key was left in the lock and wasn’t turned to the off position. Once the materials are loaded into this machine, it starts up again automatically if it has not been turned to the off position. He was caught in the machine and sustained extensive injuries to the right foot, burns to an arm and back and a possible broken neck.
