Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was using an air-driven nail gun to secure a corner in a newly framed residence. The pneumatic line was laid out behind him and went around the framed wall to the air source. As Employee #1 activated the nail gun's trigger, a coworker tripped on the air line, jerking the gun in Employee #1's hand. A nail discharged into Employee #1's abdomen. The paramedics were called and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital.
