## Narrative

Employees were tasked to replace a bearing. The outer housing was removed and the race was scored, but not enough to release it from the shaft. Employee 1 went to get a wedge to help remove the race. Employee 2 began hitting the inner race with a hammer.  A piece of the hammer head broke off and lodged in EE's chest, requiring stitches when removed.
