Narrative

EE was supervising another employee who was operating a power drill. The bit on the drill broke and the broken piece ricocheted and hit EE in the front tooth. As EE yelled and put hand up to mouth the employee operating the drill pulled the drill down from where the operator was drilling and the sharp end of the bit struck EE's right hand, cutting EE's small finger.
