Tampa, FL (April 21, 2025) – A workplace injury occurred today at a manufacturing plant in Tampa, Florida, when a worker was injured while operating a heavy-duty machine. The incident, which occurred around 8:30 a.m., involved a worker who was using an industrial press when the machine malfunctioned.
Reports indicate that the worker was in the process of setting up a new order when the press suddenly malfunctioned, causing a malfunction that trapped their hand. The worker, a 34-year-old man, suffered severe injuries to his hand and wrist. Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene, and the worker was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment, where they are being evaluated for possible fractures and deep tissue damage.
The plant management has launched an internal investigation to determine if proper maintenance protocols were followed. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) has been notified and will likely conduct a thorough investigation to assess whether workplace safety standards were met.
We extend our thoughts to the injured worker and wish them a full and speedy recovery.
