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, unspecified at Southern Heat Exchanger (SHECO) in Houston, Texas
DATE: 03/06/19
Employees were trying to raise the elevation of a working platform turntable. A crane lifting the table applied too much upward pull to it before the pins that would release it were removed. An employee on the turntable was flung off when it broke free from its concrete anchors. The employee fell to the ground and suffered a broken lower right leg.
