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: Struck by falling object or equipment, unspecified at Howell Industries in Sulphur, Louisiana
DATE: 03/19/19
On 3-11-19, around 8 p.m., an employee was moving a sheet of 1/2″ plate from a water-cutting machine using an overhead crane. He tried to transfer the plate from the overhead crane to the forklift by placing the plate on its edge on the floor and moving the forklift close enough to switch the plate clamp from the overhead crane to the forklift. He lost control of the plate, which fell and struck his left leg. He was hospitalized with two fractures and ankle dislocations.
