Investigation Summary
On April 11, 2008, an employee was installing a truss joist using a pneumatic nail gun. He inadvertently shot himself on the upper chest. The employee was determined to have held the nail gun with only his right hand when the gun recoiled, causing him to loose grip and the muzzle landed on his upper chest as his index finger never left the trigger. The nail was determined to be approximately 3-in. in length and was lodged in between the heart and the lung. The employee was driven to St. Francis Medical Center by a coworker, where he was admitted for treatment.
