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: Inhalation of harmful substance-single episode at Don M. Barron Contractor Inc in Monroe, Louisiana
DATE: 05/11/16
Two employees were fixing a sewer system at the intersection. The first employee went down into the sewer to relieve a blockage. He finished and proceeded to climb the 9-foot ladder up the sewer hole. Just before he was able to reach the top of the hole, he collapsed and fell down the ladder. The second employee went down the ladder to rescue the first employee and put a hoist rope around him. While the first employee was being hoisted up the hole, the second employee succumbed to the gases that were in the sewer and collapsed. One of the employees was hospitalized.
