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: Entangled in other object or equipment at Patterson UTI Drilling Company, LLC in Houston, Texas
DATE: 06/05/15
An employee was pulled off of the drill floor by a tugger line. The employee was standing behind a safety gate holding the hoist line to put tension on it so it would not get tangled in the hoist drum. Something made the line jerk; the employee did not let go and was pulled over the safety gate, sliding down what the employer called a beaver slide. He was hospitalized to repair his badly damaged hand. He also had 23 stitches put in his head and three fractured vertebrae.
