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: Fall from collapsing structure or equipment 11 to 15 feet at IQI Construction, LLC in Waller, Texas
DATE: 02/18/16
Employees were welding a wall plate to connect a structural steel member. The base of the member became unstable, and the structural steel started to fall, causing an employee sitting on a cross member to fall 15 feet to the ground below. A second employee was welding while standing in an aerial lift basket when the structural steel member fell and crashed down on the lift, slamming it to the ground. The employee suffered multiple blunt force trauma injuries and was hospitalized.
