Investigation Summary
On November 18, 2004, Employee #1, a journeyman carpenter, was up on the second- story floor nailing a post with a new Hitachi NR83A2, 3.25 in.-pneumatic strip nail gun. Employee #1 was leaning over and bent downwards toe nailing at an angle. He felt something hit his right cheek. He thought, he possibly hit a knot or another nail and when the gun kicked back, the butt of the gun hit him in his cheek accidentally. He shot a nail into his right cheek. Employee #1 was taken to the hospital where x-rays revealed that the nail entered the right cheek, passed through the right eye socket and into the brain. A surgery was required, and Employee #1 was hospitalized over 24 hours. There were no direct witnesses to the incident.
