Photo / 123RFA South Auckland man is "lucky to be alive" after being shot in the heart with a nail gun by a colleague at work. "There was a real risk that other workers could come into contact with an operator's nail gun, and that is exactly what happened, so clear exclusion zones should have been marked out around work-stations where nail guns were in use." "Nail guns weren't regularly checked to ensure they were fit for purpose, and workers were not being adequately trained", she said.
