Jamall Anthony, a Turner Industries Group LLC employee, alleged that a caustic solution penetrated his protective equipment and burned his feet while he erected scaffolding at Occidental’s Geismar facility in September 2023, according to Jamall Anthony v. Occidental Chemical Corp. , filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana. Mr. Anthony accused Occidental of negligence in maintaining, repairing and supervising the facility. Occidental, in moving for summary judgment, argued that its contract with Turner established statutory employer status and protected it from the lawsuit under Louisiana’s workers compensation law. The contract designated Occidental as the statutory employer and described Turner’s work as integral and essential to its business, creating a rebuttable presumption of statutory employment. The judge found that Mr. Anthony had not presented evidence showing that his work, which facilitated repairs in a chlorine unit, was nonessential to Occidental’s chemical manufacturing business. The court dismissed the negligence claims with prejudice.
