OSHA Injury Report

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 Lone Star Well Service, LLC in Garden City, Texas

DATE: 11/29/17

A crew was pulling a second string of tubing out of a hole and was warming up a collar to break the connection. A swivel operator was spinning the swivel when an employee placed a 36-inch pipe wrench on the top part of the swivel, then placed a cheater bar on the pipe wrench. The swivel continued to turn clockwise with the pipe wrench and cheater bar attached. The employee was still holding onto the cheater bar when it started turning. The employee was then pulled and thrown off the rig floor, suffering a broken clavicle, broken ribs, collapsed right lung, and broken back.
