## Narrative

Blaster was using 2 crescent wrenches to loosen and remove the beveled fitting from the hydraulic fill port so the lube truck hose would connect properly. When pulling the wrench, it slipped striking the employee in the mouth resulting in a lower lip laceration and a broken tooth (top right lateral incisor). The employee went to the dentist on 5/21/15 to repair the broken tooth.
