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.

DATE: 05/25/18
A caster operator was removing a safety blank while wearing heavy welding gloves to insert a smaller nozzle in a casting tundish holding molten steel. The blank fell onto the top of the shroud, causing the molten steel to splatter onto his flame-resistant clothing and metatarsal safety boots. He suffered second- and third-degree burns to his lower legs and feet.
