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.

DATE: 10/10/19
An employee was using a wire-end brush attachment in a pneumatic die grinder to clean debris out of a casting mold. The employee stepped down from a 6-inch raised platform, then felt severe pain in his left knee as soon as it was bearing weight. A 1-inch-long, 0.0104-inch-thick steel wire from the brush had penetrated the knee. The employee was hospitalized.
