Employee Is Shot in Knee with Nail

On August 24, 2012, Employee #1 was kneeling on the secondary story floor of a residential building under construction and nailing floor joists. He used a Hitachi pneumatic nail gun to attach the joists on boards that connected with the frame of the floor. When he arrived to a metal tie strap going from the joist to a wall, he tried to shoot a nail into a pre drilled and punched hole in the strap, but missed. The nail gun kicked back and bounced up and then came down on his left knee, shooting a nail into his knee. Employee #1 was transported to a medical center, where he received medical attention and underwent surgical procedures and was then hospitalized for one day.
