Narrative

Contractor EE was repairing a ripper tooth from a D10 Dozer. EE hit the ripper tooth with a hammer a couple of times to get it in place for the retaining pin. A piece of metal sheared off of the ripper and embedded into the EE's left arm. EE eventually went to the ER for treatment. It was removed and EE was prescribed antibiotics.
