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 object falling from vehicle or machinery-other than vehicle part at Steel Masters LP in Sugar Land, Texas
DATE: 11/07/19
On November 7, 2019, an employee was signaling a 75-ton crane from the ground. It began to rain, and a galvanized tube (12 feet long, 4 feet in diameter, weighing 500 pounds) slipped from the crane’s rigging and fell. It bounced from a second-story beam and hit the employee, breaking a bone in the employee’s foot and cracking three ribs.
