Narrative

While removing a product line on a railcar the ee pulled the line hitting a tooth, causing it to chip. Temp. agency reported this incident as a first aid. It was not until EHS manager spoke to the ee on the week of 2/5. EE mentioned the chipped tooth was repaired at the dentist. Since it was a temp employee from an agency, EHS contacted MSHA for advice on behalf of SMI.
