## Narrative

Two employees were inside the Ball Mill, attempting to remove a ball chip that was lodged between two liners.  A 4lb metal wedge was inserted, between the two liners, to try and hammer it out.  One employee swung the hammer while the other stood back.  Upon contact with the hammer the wedge bounced back and struck the employee in the mouth.
