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: 11/18/16
An employee was helping a three-man crew with a backhoe to lift a walk-behind saw approximately 6 inches and move it forward approximately 3 feet. The employee attached rigging from the walk-behind saw to the backhoe and stood to the side of the forks approximately 4 feet away. As the backhoe operator lifted the saw, the backhoe forks disengaged and struck the employee’s hard hat. The employee was hospitalized for a head injury.
