Narrative

Employee was taking the PLM high voltage coupling loose from the section power center. The employee pulled the spanner wrench toward EE to loosen because of a metal guard that was on the back of the power center. When the coupling broke loose the end of the spanner wrench came back and struck EE in the mouth knocking EE's right front tooth out.
