Nail gun tragedies difficult to prevent: OSHA has no standards in place; training called best prevention By SEAN SMYTH, The Patriot Ledger
Death by nail gun is still a rare occurrence, but as an accident in Plymouth earlier this week showed, it's a risk users face each time they pick up the tool.
Once wielded only by carpenters and construction workers, nail guns are now a must-have tool for many do-it-yourselfers. But even seasoned professionals can and do get hurt - and sometimes killed.
Raymond L. Tassinari IV, 22, of Plymouth died Monday when a nail pierced his heart. Tassinari, a carpenter for Shawnlee Construction Co. of Plainville, was working with a nail gun on The Pinehills development in South Plymouth when it happened. Investigators called it a ‘‘freak'' accident.------------------------------------------- posted 8:37 AM :: reference link ::
