OSHA Injury Report

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 part of powered vehicle at Triple-S Steel Supply in San Antonio, Texas

DATE: 07/25/17

An employee was using a 10-ton overhead crane and had picked up a bundle of steel angles weighing 7,250 lbs. The employee and a coworker then raised the bundle around 4 feet high and started to cut the metal strapping off the bundle. The employees were on their third band when the crane was moved southward, pushing them over a stack of angles and pinning them against some pipe. The material struck the employee’s chest, cracking ribs and puncturing a lung. The employee was hospitalized.
