On June 7, 2021, at approximately 8 a.m. a man that was working at the CBS studio was injured after a wall – weighing approximately 600 lbs. – collapsed on him. The incident occurred specifically at the CBS Radford lot in Studio City, CA. The incident comes soon after a crew member working at a site died at the studio after a medical emergency.
According to reports from Cal/OSHA, the injured man is an employee of CBS Studio center. The man was hospitalized after the incident for a dislocated shoulder. The agency is investigating the incident.
Considering that the affected worker only suffered a dislocated shoulder, many would consider him lucky. However, the lack of life-threatening injuries does not take away from the seriousness of the situation.

About Cal/OSHA
The Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) is known as Cal/OSHA. Cal/OSHA is dedicated to protecting and improving “the health and safety of working men and women in California” among other things. Cal/OSHA is responsible for setting and enforcing workplace standards, providing outreach, assistance, and education, and also issuing approvals, registrations, certifications, permits, and licenses.
Cal/OSHA essentially oversees workplace safety. All workplace accidents resulting in serious injury or illness (including death) must be reported to the agency. The agency also handles complaints made by workers affected by the unsafe workplace conditions.
After workplace accidents, injured employees and their families might immediately think of filing a lawsuit.
