Narrative

The employee (welder/repairman) was loosening a bolt on a Finish Mill pump's barrel. When the bolt broke free, the wrench the employee was using came up and hit the employee in the mouth/tooth. The impact on his front tooth caused a fracture to his upper left front tooth. The employee returned to work at full duty the same day after being examined by a dentist.
