Tampa, FL (April 17, 2025) – A workplace injury occurred earlier today at a manufacturing plant in Tampa, Florida, when a worker fell from a ladder while performing maintenance work. The incident took place around 10:30 a.m., when the worker was reaching for equipment on a high shelf in the warehouse area.
According to initial reports, the worker lost their balance and fell approximately 8 feet to the ground. Emergency responders arrived quickly at the scene, and the worker, a 39-year-old man, was transported to a nearby hospital with a fractured wrist, shoulder injury, and possible head trauma. The plant’s safety team is reviewing its safety protocols to determine whether the worker was properly trained on ladder safety and whether safety equipment was available at the time of the incident.
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) has been notified and will likely conduct a full investigation to determine whether proper workplace safety measures were in place.
We extend our thoughts to the injured worker and wish them a full and speedy recovery.
