Dramatic Workplace Accident Raises Questions about Safety


A 29-year-old lies at Parkland Memorial Hospital in critical condition after a workplace accident nearly caused his death. The man, an employee of a bakery supply company, fell into an industrial mixer this weekend, exposing him to the possibility of being fatally cut by the machine’s razor-sharp blades or, as a team of people fought to free him, from the risk of explosion triggered by a spark and combustible flour.

Not surprisingly, workplace conditions so fraught with risk that a simple accident would put the lives of an employee and rescue personnel in danger raises potentially serious questions about safety. It’s important to remember that in general workers have a right to a safe workplace and that on-the-job injuries can be the basis of a viable legal claim.
