NIOSH Released New Nail Gun Safety Booklet

NIOSH releases new material to aid nail gun users in recognizing potentially dangerous conditions and nail gun features that increase the risk of injury.

Based on previous Nail Gun Safety research, "Straight Talk About Nail Gun Safety” offers new users explanations on how different nail guns operate and discusses the typical hazards encountered while working with, or near someone working with, these devices.

According to NIOSH, the comic book-esque publication is not to be used as a substitute for proper OSHA-required training, but may be used in conjunction with regular training to help reinforce safety education.

The publication is available for download in both English and Spanish.
