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: Other fall to lower level 11 to 15 feet at Sunset Well Service, Inc. in Crane, Texas

DATE: 03/26/15

Employees were hanging a horse head on a well. The injured employee was on a pumping unit, waiting for the horse head to be lifted with rig blocks, with a safety retractable line attached. The line got caught in the blocks and pulled the employee off of the pumping unit, causing the employee to fall 10 to 15 feet before the safety line engaged. At the point of engagement, the safety line snapped, and the employee fell to the ground.
