Abstract: At approximately 8:10 a.m. on July 19, 2004, Employee #1 was using a 0.27 caliber Ramset Viper powder-actuated tool. He was told by his supervisor to stop because the owner of the building where he was working did not allow it to be used during the day because of the noise. Employee #1 was putting the tool back into its storage case when it fired, shooting a piston through his left index finger. He was transported to the hospital, where he was admitted for treatment. Employee #1 had not unloaded the charge before starting to pack away the tool.
