Narrative

Buckets on a loadout spout were stuck. Trying to break free the material, the employee banged on the buckets from the inside with a sledgehammer. This resulted in the loadout spout becoming unstuck, and it swung forward and hit the employee in the face, knocking out the bottom half of their two front teeth. EE will have crowns put on. No restrictions and did not miss work.
