South Carolina Personal Injury Law Blog
Parts of South Carolina are heavily industrialized, and plant employees work hard for their income. When a serious workplace accident leaves an industrial worker injured, the incident should be thoroughly investigated to determine if any safety violations occurred. The injury and any related medical treatment should also be well documented for a workers’ compensation claim.
A recent explosion at a radiator plant in Edgefield County is being investigated by the South Carolina Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The blast injured three workers, two of whom were still in critical condition at the time of a local report. One man reportedly suffered burns on 50 percent of his body, and another man was burned on 30 percent of his body. The third injured worker was treated and released.
