Narrative

An employee was working on top of a hydromulching machine. While switching from the passenger-side turret to the driver-side turret, the 3-inch cam-lock end cap was released. Due to trapped pressure, the end cap struck the employee's face resulting in a laceration to the face, a broken tooth, and damage to other teeth.
