Narrative

While removing a dozer ripper tooth with a 3 lb. sledge hammer after gouging with an air arc, the employee felt a pinch on EE's right calf on EE's first strike with the hammer. The employee felt the warmth and wetness of blood running down EE's leg and EE pulled EE's FR pants up to realize EE had a wound to EE's leg from the sheared medal.
