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: 05/16/19
An employee turned on a process pump inside a fish processing plant. The pump cap housing blew off causing hot water to forcibly flow out of the pump and strike the employee in multiple areas on the front of his body. As the employee turned away from the hot water, he was struck in multiple areas on the back of his body and knocked to the ground momentarily. Hot water also struck a second employee on the back while running away from the area.
