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 less than 6 feet at R2 Corporation in Houston, Texas
DATE: 10/22/18
An employee was loading an order of office chairs onto the second level of a semi-trailer truck, which required other employees to pass the chairs up to him so he could roll them back across plywood flooring that he was sitting on. He then attempted to stand up on the edge of the sheet of plywood when the plywood shifted and tilted vertically, causing him to fall approximately 4.5 feet to the wooden floor of the trailer. He landed on his back, head, and neck. His head struck the floor, bounced up, and struck the floor again as it came down. He sustained back, neck, and other bodily injuries, requiring hospitalization.
