## Narrative

The IE was preparing to load roof bolts into the supply tray for the roof bolter. When he cut the bands loose, one of the roof bolts came up and struck him in the mouth loosening the bridge in his mouth. It was determined that the IE had set the edge of the scoop bucket down on one of the roof bolts. He had a permanent tooth pulled on 10/4/12, that was loosened during the incident.
