Narrative

An employee was painting structural steel below the bridge. The employee's spray gun became clogged and he went to unclog it. The spray gun rotated the tip of the gun and the trigger was actuated, causing paint to be injected into his finger. The employee suffered a high pressure injection wound to the finger and was hospitalized.
