Narrative

Teammate stated EE was in the process of replacing bits on the 088 miner. EE had removed the old bit and was pushing the new bit into place when it became stuck so EE took EE's pick hammer and struck the bit to force it in place. After several hits a piece of metal came back and struck EE. On 3/30/2023 EE had the metal removed and received 3 stitches.
