Narrative

Employee was using a pick to remove clay that built up between the grinding teeth of a milling machine. When the pick accidentally struck one of the teeth on the machine, a sliver of metal hit the employee on the chin. Over the next 5 days the area began to fester until he was taken to the doctor for observation.
