Abstract: At approximately 11:10 a.m. on April 17, 20003, Employee #1, a roofer, was working on the roof of a one story residential house fastening the shingles. The employee was using a Senco Coil Nail Gun, Serial Number 9880320. The employee had his finger resting on the trigger of the nail gun and when he moved his hand/arm, he inadvertently knocked it against an existing pipe. Coming in contact with the pipe caused him to apply enough pressure to the nail gun's trigger, to cause it to discharge. A nail was shot into the employee's knee. Employee #1 had surgery and was hospitalized for three days. After a week of recuperation, he went back to work with the restriction of not lifting loads more than 15 pounds.
