January 7, 2020 MT · Metal/Non-Metal bulldozer operator, universal operator, heavy equipment operator, operating engineer HANDTOOLS (NONPOWERED)
Pipestone Quarry, LLC · Struck by flying object

While an employee was driving a pin out of a roller with a hammer a small piece of metal came off of the hammer striking employee in the edge of a front tooth chipping a small corner off the tooth. I took the employee to the dentist to make sure the tooth was ok. The dentist recommended repairing the tooth just in case so there wouldn't be problems later.
