Jun 5, 2024, Dayton: Hospitalization · cuts, lacerations, punctures without injury to internal structures · ankle(s)
On June 5, 2024, an employee was assembling a pallet with a pneumatic nail gun. As he stepped over an air hose, the nail gun came into contact with his left ankle and shot a nail into it.
An employee was building a wooden crate with another employee. His arm moved forward at the same time that the second employee lowered the nail gun. The nail gun discharged upon contact with the first employee's arm. The nail entered the employee's right forearm.
A piece of wood was jammed in the panel saw. The injured employee was sweeping in the area and went over to assist with the jam. The employee reached into the blade to pull the piece of jammed wood out and cut his finger on the saw blade resulting in a partial amputation of the pinky finger. The e-stop was pushed prior to the employee's hand entering the saw, but the blade was still running from residual force.
