Narrative

Two employees re-installing a gearbox to a roller crusher. One employee was underneath the gearbox tightening the last two nuts overhead. The wrench slipped from the nut and fell about 18 inches striking their two upper front teeth resulting in both teeth being partially fractured. Both teeth were filled at a Dentist, and the employee returned to work without further issue.
