Coppell, TX — OSHA released a report containing some details about an accident that happened in Coppell. Apparently, OSHA was called to “Overhead Door Company of DFW” in Coppell last August 15th, 2014 to investigate a catastrophic accident.
It doesn’t appear to have been a fatal accident, but the investigation from OSHA is purportedly still going on. It was difficult to find information about Overhead Door Company in DFW, but OSHA will hopefully release more details later.

Commentary:
As the name suggests, I’m guessing this company deals with garage doors and that sort of thing. The reason I’m blogging about this accident is that I’m tired of stumbling across OSHA reports that cover accidents from months ago — only to find that no news source has so much as acknowledged the event. It’s tiresome and frustrating to hear about work accidents from other sources because I think that our workers in Texas don’t always have the safest conditions or even equipment to work with at times, and that needs to be at the forefront of our attention.
If you read my other blogs about work accidents, you’ll learn that I’m no advocate of a workers’ compensation system. In the end, that kind of system only benefits the employer, not the employee. I hope that this blog is able to help bring some attention to the many work-related accidents and catastrophes in Texas that happen daily.
