Employee Shoots Leg With Nail Gun

At approximately 12:00 p.m. on June 16, 2004, Employee #1, a carpenter, was helping frame a new house. Employee #1 was working from a ladder. A coworker called for a lunch break. Employee #1 placed his nail gun on a ladder rung and started to come down the ladder. The nail gun fell and Employee #1 reached for the nail gun, and had the gun against his right lower leg. Employee #1 accidentally pressed the gun's trigger. The gun fired, and a nail entered Employee #1's tibia. Employee #1 was taken to an emergency room where he was treated for a fractured right tibia and released.
