Worker installing fascia is injured when nail from nail gun

At 10:30 a.m. on January 16, 2017, Employee #1 and Coworkers #1 and #2, employed by a construction company, were working at a construction site. They were working from a scissor lift and installing concrete fascia board to the exterior of a building. Employee #1 and Coworker #1 were holding up the fascia board as Coworker #2 operated an air-powered nail gun to secure the board. A nail fired from the gun deflected, bounced off the board, and struck Employee #1, penetrating the bridge of his nose near his right eye. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. Medical personnel removed the nail and bandaged the wound. Employee #1 was discharged without hospitalization. The subsequent investigation determined that Employee #1 was wearing safety glasses at the time of injury, but the glasses were not positioned properly.
