Narrative

Mechanic was using a pry bar to remove old screen panel parts from a banana gravity screen. He had the bar underneath a piece of rubber and was prying when the bar slipped from his hand and struck him in the mouth. The employee received a split lip (minor first aid) and the employee's two top, center teeth were chipped.
