Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:30 a.m. on July 31, 2007, Employee #1 was nailing the joints of wooden frame members on top of the roof of a sigle-famly home undergoing renovations in Palos Verdes, CA. He was standing on the finished plywood roof boards, as the fiberglass shingles were not yet installed. In his right hand, Employee #1 held a Hitachi NR 8342, 3 1/4 in. strip nailer with an air pressure of 70 lb to 120 lb. As he was working, his foot slipped on the semi-finished wooden surface. As he fell to his knees, he inadvertently pulled the trigger of the nail gun, firing a 3 1/4 in. nail into his knee. Employee #1 was carried down from the roof top and taken to Torrance Memorial Hospital, where he was admitted for treatment. Subsequent investigation determined that the air gun had inadequate safety features.
