Narrative

Employee was hit in the mouth by a drop light while he was on the top lining railcars, resulting in a chipped tooth and lip abrasion. He said he was bending over to wash out the railcar the hook on the drop light caught onto his lanyard. As he went further down the drop light became unhooked from his lanyard and then swung around hitting him in his mouth.
