New Nail Gun Safety Books in English, Spanish

Straight Talk about Nail Gun Safety is a comic-book-style publication that explains how different types of nail gun triggers operate and discusses typical hazards faced by workers who work with or around a nail gun.

Available in English or Spanish, the information in the publication is based on NIOSH supported research; Nail Gun Safety: A Guide for Construction Contractors and focus group discussions with residential building subcontractors, safety specialists and workers.

New nail gun users must receive safety training, not just a copy of this publication. Safety training requirements are described in detail in Nail Gun Safety: A Guide for Construction Contractors and can be viewed and printed or downloaded from www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2011-202/.
