Narrative

EE was preparing to run a test in the furnace. He had loaded the retort and was using a 3/4 inch combination wrench to tighten the bolts on the retort lid. While attempting to tighten one of the bolts, the wrench slipped and the wrench hit him in the mouth resulting in a chipped tooth. He saw his Dentist on 2-11-15 for the repair.
