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.

Report: Collision between a moving and standing vehicle, nonroadway at Apex Tool Group LLC. in Jonesboro, Arkansas
DATE: 04/09/15
An employee and a contractor were using a scissor lift to reach the top of the black powder spray booth where steel tanks are brought in to be painted. The employee was going to clean the top of the booth, while the contractor was going to work on the lighting in the area above the booth. The product-carrier which brings the steel tanks to the paint booth was not locked out. The product-carrier started to bring a steel tank to the spray booth and made contact with the scissor-lift. The carrier tipped the scissor-lift over. The employees were thrown roughly six feet when the scissor-lift impacted the ground.
