A Houston TX Employee is Seriously Injured in a Forklift Accident
Texas forklift accidents happened at a Sealy Walmart, a New Braunfels Walmart, and an Orange Walmart in August 2021. In the same month, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) also reported a Lowe’s Company forklift accident in Mount Vernon, Texas. Walmart, Lowe’s, Amazon, and Home Depot are not likely subscribers to the workers’ compensation program in Texas. None of the above-mentioned forklift accidents were followed up with an inspection. There was, however, an inspection after an August 2021 work accident involving a forklift that occurred at Ferguson Enterprises, LLC at 1842 Airport Blvd. in Houston TX 77051.
The NAICS Code for Ferguson Enterprises is 423720, which is the Plumbing and Heating Equipment and Supplies (Hydronics) Merchant Wholesalers industry. The inspection details show that the case was closed without any penalties. The inspection type was a referral, and the employer was given no advanced notice before being visited for an inspection. Details about the Ferguson Enterprises work accident follow.
