Event: 09/15/2005

Employee injured when accidentally shot with a nail gun

On September 15, 2005, Employee #1 was standing on a ladder outside a second-story window opening. Another employee was standing inside and cutting plywood pieces for Employee #1 to install around the window. Employee #1 reached for a nail gun that was on the window sill. The nail gun was turned toward Employee #1. As Employee #1 pulled the nail gun towards himself and attempted to get a better grip on it, he leaned forward on the ladder and into the gun. During the attempt to gain control of the nail gun Employee #1 had placed one finger on the trigger of the gun and accidentally shot a nail. The nail pierced Employee #1's suspenders, shirt, and chest, partially collapsing one of his lungs. Employee #1 reached down, removed the nail, and was transported to the hospital, where he was treated for his injuries.
