Narrative

EE was removing a steel jig with another employee and asked helper to release the end helper was holding. The injured employee (who was only using one hand) lost grip and dropped the jig. As the jig hit the ground and rolled, it struck EE in the mouth knocking out one tooth and cracking two others. EE was medically evaluated, cleared and sent to a dentist for dental repairs.
