Narrative

An employee was bleeding residual pressure off a hydraulic line on a tractor and held a metal bracket in front of his face to avoid being splashed with small amounts of hydraulic oil. When pressure was released, it hit the metal bracket and forced it into the employee's face, fracturing his jaw and knocking out a tooth.
