• Description:
  Avoid nail gun injuries. Use a sequential trigger. A few minutes a day can prevent nail gun injuries. You should... 1. Keep your finger off the trigger when walking around the jobsite with a nail gun. 2. Be sure the nail gun is pointed away from yourself and your co-workers. 3. Make sure all safety devices are enabled and working properly (based on the manufacturers' specifications). Remember...nail guns can help get the job done, but nail gun injuries send tens of thousands to the hospital each year. [Description provided by NIOSH]
