| 2017-08-28 | Carpinteria | California | Pacific Operators Offshore | Trunk | Struck by object falling from vehicle or machinery-other than vehicle part |
| Employees were conducting routine maintenance for corrosion control/rust prevention cleaning of a wellhead. They were needle gunning and removed the bolts on a clamp that keeps the wellhead and oil tree together. When they removed the bolts, it created a pressure gap that dislodged the oil tree. The 2,000-pound tree then fell on top of the injured employee, crushing the employee's torso. The employee experienced difficulty breathing and possible internal, minor bleeding and bruising. | |||||
