Safety at WorkBoca Chica, TX (WorkersCompensation.com) – Two employees of Elon Musk’s SpaceX have filed suit against the company claiming they were injured on the job.
“As the bucket fell, (Escalante’s) right arm was dragged downward with (the bucket),” the suit said, according to the San Antonio Express-News.
A Reuters investigation found that at least 600 cases of workplace injuries at SpaceX in 2023 went unreported.
On Monday, Jan. 26, federal safety regulators fined one of SpaceX’s vendors for an accident during testing that sent two workers to the hospital.
OSHA fined the company $18,475 in that accident, and Cabada’s wife filed a negligence suit against the company.
