Narrative

The employee was engaging a clutch on the dredge and a bolt backed out of the Dodge coupling ripping the guard off. The guard struck the employee in the bottom lip causing a laceration. The cut required 5 stitches on the outside and 4 on the inside of his lip. A new guard was built that is larger eliminating the possibility of a bolt catching the guard.
