Flextrend Development Company Accidents
Even though Flextrend is over 20 years old, there have been reports of several accidents that have occurred at the company’s offshore oil rigs, which include:
- A worker that was harmed while completing a pre-use inspection of a crane. While climbing the crane, the worker had to enter through an open hatch at the top of the ladder to access the top deck. After entering, the worker failed to place the hatch door in the closed position which later caused him to fall through an open hole and receive injuries to his upper right arm as well as lacerations on his head.
- A worker injured his right index finger by having it smashed between two pieces of machinery while decommissioning a portable crane.
- An individual manually opened an oil container that resulted in oil spilling which caused a slip and fall accident and a subsequent back injury.
