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 Ramming Paving in Channelview, Texas

DATE: 01/16/15

Employee was on top of a hot oil tanker trailer attempting to remove the lid to fill the tanker. The lid was stuck due to sitting for a couple of weeks because of inclement weather. The fall protection cage provided at the fill location did not fit the tanker trailer properly, leaving a gap large enough for the employee to fall beneath the cage. When the lid came loose, the employee fell from the top of the tanker trailer, under the fall protection cage, to the ground. The employee dislocated a shoulder, broke two to three ribs, and received contusions.
