## Narrative

An employee was standing at two sawhorses, assembling pieces of wood to be part of a larger concrete form work. She was holding a 2-by-4 with her left hand and a gas-powered nail gun in her right hand. When she fired a 16-penny nail into the wood, it hit a knot, turned out, and punctured her left index finger.
