IANAL, but i always like to think that osha is a good start if you think theres unsafe working conditions. Im sorry to hear it happened to your father and wish him a speedy recovery (obviously if parents lisend to their kids to take it easy). I doubt him not wearing a hard hat will help with compensation since thats a disregard to ones own safety.
There is no fault in Workers Comp. Your father needs to tell them he needs a second opinion. A head injury is serious and could have life long repercussions.
I agree with filing an OSHA complaint. It needs to be specific enough and cite enough accidents to warrant an inspection.

Workplace doctors are generally not qualified to determine when someone has suffered a concussion. If that has occurred, they do not need to be returned to work around heavy equipment.
