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.

Two employees were operating remote-controlled guillotine concrete breakers. The breakers have steel plates that come down and break the roadway concrete for removal. The injured employee’s breaker was not operating and he got between the two units. When the second unit moved, the injured employee was pinned between the two breaker units resulting in a fractured left fibula.
