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 on same level, n.e.c. at Cooper Consolidated, LLC in La Place, Louisiana
DATE: 02/16/17
An employee was changing the boom cable on a drum. He was standing between the boom drum and the holding drum on the frame below. While feeding the dead end of the cable with his left hand, he was using his right hand to balance himself on the drum. In the process, his right hand slipped and was caught between the cable and the drum. He was then pulled down and flipped over. He landed on the floor between the drums, dislocating his right elbow and fracturing his right wrist.
