College Station Equipment Malfunction, Generates Comments From Construction Accident Lawyer

June 24, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman commented on a recent incident in College Station, Texas, where a local man was injured and rushed to the hospital following a painful fall. Thomas Moverman hopes that the local man is able to make a full recovery from the injuries he sustained, and eventually is able to return to working in construction. Moverman also cited this incident as yet another example to federal regulators to revise the current construction safety rules and regulations.

As indicated by local CBS affiliate KBTX.com, a local man was severely injured after an equipment malfunction knocked the man off of machinery and into a large hole. Shortly after the incident, the College Station Fire Department responded to the scene to assist the man out of the hole and back up to street level. The worker, an employee of Brazos Paving, was rushed to a local hospital and stabilized according to local authorities.

Luckily for the College Station victim, he was able to be stabilized and treated for his injuries. However, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) indicated that in 2014 there were 73 construction workers who died after being struck by an object. OSHA is a small agency that has a large responsibility which includes handling the safety and well-being of nearly 130 million American workers, which are employed at over 8 million different worksites. Therefore, each of the 2,200 OSHA inspectors is tasked with the nearly impossible job of handling the responsibility of the health and safety of 59,000 workers each.
