Narrative

Employee was attempting to remove a plug from a pump. There was a pipe in close proximity and slightly above the pump. As he was attempting to loosen the plug the wrench slipped and his chin made contact with the pipe causing his jaws to slam together. This resulted in a chip in Tooth #8 and piece of tooth #14 was broken off.
