Posted on August 25th, 2011 No Comments

A woman suffered life-threatening injury while working at a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga.

A co-worker has stated that the woman was injured when her glove got caught in an assembly line machine and caused the woman to lose her finger. The line was shut down immediately.

Emergency personnel responded to the scene to transport the woman to the hospital and begin an investigation into the accident. A reconstruction team is currently trying to figure out the order of events.

New York recycling company fined by OSHA

Posted on May 10th, 2011 No Comments

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Buffalo Recycling Enterprises, LLC, with 15 alleged workplace safety violations after an incident that occurred in October 2010 that seriously injured in employee’s arm.

The man’s arm was lacerated when it got caught into a conveyor belt while he was working to clear out a paper jam. According to OSHA, the recycler was cited for having hazardous energy and hazards for a bloodborne pathogen.

These two citations can cause traumatic injury from being caught in machinery that will not shut down properly and from not protecting workers from exposure to disease.

Workplace accidents can happen frequently if the right precautions are not taken. Our thoughts are with the victim in the accident.

Man trapped in pit after workplace accident

Posted on April 26th, 2011 No Comments

A Pennsylvania man was rescued nearly two hours after he became trapped in a pit full of loose gravel. The incident occurred at Clinton Block Co. when the man was working near the hole.

The 55-year-old man then went into the hole to unclog an auger when a stone collapsed on his lower body, trapping him inside. Employees that were nearby began to try and dig him out, but the stone continued to collapse.

Police were called about an hour after he became trapped and he was freed about an hour after emergency crews arrived at the scene. Emergency responders were worried that the man may suffer from crushed injury syndrome, which occurs when muscles begin to break down and it causes problems with the kidneys. The man was taken to Hunterdon Medical Center to be treated.

Posted on April 20th, 2011 No Comments

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration has announced that they have cited a company with 31 safety and health violations.

OSHA tells retailers for crowd management on Black Friday

Posted on November 16th, 2010 No Comments

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration sent letter to 14 retailers that explained the importance of having a plan for crowd control on ‘Black Friday.’

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving and is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Huge sales are placed on items which causes the stores to become very crowded. This day marks the beginning of holiday shopping. The reason for this letter from OSHA is the death of a Wal-Mart employee in 2008 on Black Friday.

A crowd of shoppers were waiting outside and when the doors opened they trampled the 34-year-old worker to his death. The letter strongly encourages the retailers to take extra precaution to prevent situations like this. A fact sheet on crowd management safety was also included in the letter.

If you or a loved one has been injured in while on the job, you need experienced representation that may be able to help you secure the benefits your deserve. Contact the Pennsylvania workers’ comp lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., by calling 610-667-7511 today.
