Employee #1 was attempting to nail one roof joist to another at a 90-degree angle. Employee #1 was standing on an 8-ft fiberglass stepladder, holding the joist in his right hand and the nail gun (Hitachi and Makita Model An8300, Serial Number 014608E, pneumatic nail guns with 3-in. nails) in his left hand to end nail thru joist to hold new joist in place.
