Narrative

Employee was checking oil in haul truck, and put a flashlight in his mouth. He bit down on flashlight, which resulted in a small portion of tooth breaking off. Due to the existing decay present in the employee's teeth it was not immediately known whether this incident would require repair. After evaluation by dentist, a minor repair was made which made the incident reportable.
