Benson Industries

Years ago I worked for this company and we had an industrial accident due to an OSHA violation. The company constructs outer framing (14 feet tall if memory serves) for high rises and they move along an assembly line in the vertical position. There are brackets at the top and bottom that are connected to the device with clamps and screws then to the conveyor system either with castors on the bottom or at the top the clamp connects into another clamp along a steel beam utilizing a male/​female system and they are bolted together by hand turning the screws that held the bottom clamp onto the frame and the bottom clamp (about 12 pounds of welded steel) into the top clamp. There was no safety chains in place in case the bolts were unscrewed too much. No hard hats were ever handed out to employees or ever advised to wear hard hats for safety.
I was at the bottom of of one of the frames on my knees prepping it for movement when someone at the top undid the clamp too much and as the forklift picked it up the bottom clamp fell and bounced off my head, splitting my forehead open, bouncing off my head and missing my face, bouncing off the frame and back to me hitting me in the neck.
I was lucky I wasn’t killed. I have had severe migraines ever since and other issues.
I would never work for this company due to the safety that they did not take to heart. have they changed? I wouldn’t know, but this should not have happened in the first place and I have to deal with it for the rest of my life. I was a young kid and didn’t know any better.
