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.

Employees were using an air hoist to remove the cover from a rotary transmission when the cover became stuck on a 5-gallon bucket. As an employee attempted to push the cover free from the bucket, the cover fell on top of his right arm. His right arm was trapped between the bucket and cover, crushing tissue and muscles. He then fell and fractured a bone in his left hand.
