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 21 to 25 feet at Bosworth Steel Erectors, Inc. in Westlake, Texas
DATE: 11/28/18
Ironworkers were connecting structural steel framing members at roof level. A scissor lift platform was extended approximately 25 feet above the concrete slab when the tagline rope on the end of the beam snagged on the handrail of the scissor lift.
The top of the scissor lift was pulled over to the north.
When the lift’s center of gravity moved outside of the wheels, the scissor lift fell over. An employee was on the platform when the scissor lift fell over. He was tied off to the anchor point in the scissor lift and hit the concrete slab on level 4, suffering broken bones and internal damage.
