description abstract	Description of Driving Event: DFRC B4822 Incident Report: A workman was on a ladder spray painting alongside a sheet metal panel wall which had previously been insulated with large continuous insulation batts. The insulation was installed on impaling pins about 1/8" x 8" long. The insulation crew had not trimmed or nipped off the excess projecting pins, leaving 2 to 3 inches projecting from the wall. The painter dropped a can or tool and he lunged to catch it. The ladder shifted abruptly. He instinctively put out his hand to steady his situation and impaled his hand on one of the projecting pins. When he pulled his hand off of the pin, he suffered profuse arterial bleeding. The medical team responded quickly, and the painter's wound was treated and bandaged at the site. The area required a blood clean-up. The workman was sent home that afternoon, but returned to work the next morning.
