Bad Practice
This image shows an example of an unsafe work practice.
Summary Statement
Do not aim a nail gun towards yourself or a co-worker. Sequential trip trigger nails guns provide more protection for workers.
Workers should be provided the correct PPE (work shoes, eye protection, gloves). Shorts do not provide sufficient protection for construction workers.
Bending at the waist all day promotes back strain and fatigue, try to reduce bending at the waist. If possible elevate the work to eliminate the need to bend over.
