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: Compressed or pinched by shifting objects or equipment at PacTiv LLC in Abilene, Texas
DATE: 01/10/17
Two employees were removing an air bladder shaft from a paper core inside a plastic roll. The roll was on a pallet on the floor. An employee was stationed at each side of the roll. The injured employee (temporary employee) was pushing the air release valve signaling the other employee to remove the shaft. When the shaft was removed, the injured employee’s right index finger was caught between the core and the air release valve causing a fracture/laceration to his right index finger. The injured employee was wearing cut resistant gloves.
