Miami, FL – Three Injured in Workplace Accident in Salmon Farm Tank at 22275 SW 272nd St

Broward Co, FL - UPDATE: Two Arrested in Fatal Work Zone Crash on I-95 at Sample Rd

Miami, FL (April 13, 2021) – Three people were hospitalized on Tuesday, April 13, after being rescued from a large fish tank at a local Homestead business.

Authorities say that the incident occurred at 22275 SW 272nd Street. The company is known as Atlantic Sapphire, a sustainable salmon farm that uses a recirculating aquaculture system. Miami-Dade Fire Chief Jason Richard said some sort of fume was released while the workers were in the tank. Though firefighters were able to rescue the workers, all of them were transported to an area medical center in serious condition.

Officials with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Miami-Dade Police Department are investigating.

Our thoughts are with the injured victims in hopes of a full recovery.

Workplace Accidents in Miami

Factory and construction workers know all too well that their jobs come with a long list of hazards. A job site is typically a dangerous environment due to the dangerous equipment and tools, large machinery, and the long, exhausting hours they are required to work. These various dangers are made worse by inadequate safety measures, defective equipment, or one of the hundreds of other factors that can cause workplace accidents with injuries that are equally devastating to workers and those who depend on them.

If someone has sustained injuries in a workplace accident in Florida, the law entitles the injured victim to file a personal injury suit in state court for financial compensation for monetary damages.
