Abstract: On October 20, 2011, Employee #1, with a film production company, was using an Airy pneumatic nail gun (Model Number CDL C332) to fasten a doorstop to a door casing for a prop. The stop area was slightly above her head. The nail gun had a safety latch and an actuation trigger. The gun was reportedly difficult to pick up without depressing the safety latch. While Employee #1 was moving her finger off the safety, another finger hit the trigger. A nail punctured her forearm. Employee #1 was initially treated at a local clinic and released. Two days later, she was admitted to a hospital for surgery.
