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: Exposure through intact skin, eyes, or other exposed tissue at Big E Drilling Co in Midland, Texas
DATE: 05/03/19
The injured employee was standing next to the drilling piping, holding material over the pipe joint to channel residual mud downward, ready to swing the disconnected piping out of the way. Oil-based drilling mud came out under pressure and three employees got mud in their eyes when their hard hats and safety glasses were blown off. One employee was hospitalized for an eye injury. The eye was burning, swollen and the employee was unable to see.
