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 swinging or slipping object, other than handheld, n.e.c. at Sacramento Drilling, Inc. in San Angelo, Texas
DATE: 11/21/19
Employees were working to remove and change the air swivel on the down the hole hammer (DTH) machine. They were using a 60″ pipe wrench weighing 60lbs. to loosen the drill steel by over-torqueing the pipe wrench and wedging it against the mast while rotating the drill steel in a counter direction. After some attempts, the DTH operator approached to help Employee 2. The drill then rotated and the pipe wrench contacted the right side of Employee 2’s face, knocking him to the ground. The wrench then struck the DTH operator on the hard hat. Both employees were taken to the hospital. The DTH operator was released from the hospital after an evaluation. Employee 2 was hospitalized with multiple fractures to his jaw and cheek bone on the right side of the face.
