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 Quality Carriers in Orange, Texas
DATE: 09/08/15
An employee hooked up a hose to unload sulfuric acid. After he hooked up the appropriate hose, he walked around the truck to make sure everything was in its proper place. He then came back and touched the hose to ensure that sulfuric acid was being transferred. When he touched the hose, it came off, and the sulfuric acid splashed all over him and contacted his neck. He sustained third degree burns to his neck and shoulder and second degree burns to his arm. He was wearing PPE at the time.
