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 through surface or existing opening more than 30 feet at Sergio Ramon Rafael in Houston, Texas
DATE: 10/26/19
On October 26, 2019, a crew was performing roofing work in a commercial building. At approximately 4:30 PM, wind was blowing away the TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) that an employee was installing. The employee tried to grab the TPO and the wind caused the employee to back up towards an old skylight. The skylight broke and the employee fell approximately 50 ft. to the concrete floor. The employee sustained a brain injury and a broken arm and leg.
