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.

DATE: 06/24/15
An employee climbed onto a pump-jack
scaffold to finish some caulking work (26 feet above ground) on an apartment building. After finishing the area where he was caulking, he attempted to climb down from the pump-jack scaffold by placing his feet on the top safety rail of a third floor balcony guardrail. The safety guard rails were two temporary balcony guardrails made up of 2 X 4’s placed across the balcony’s edge. The top safety rail collapsed, and the employee fell to the ground between the pump-jack scaffold and patio area.
