Narrative

An employee was climbing an extension ladder with a spray rig gun in his right hand. The trigger to the spray gun was hit accidentally while the gun's extension was resting on his palm below his left index finger. The spray rig discharged, and the pressure cut through the skin and injected paint into the palm of his hand.
