Narrative

Employee's right eye became irritated while taping holes in the pit. He can't give a specific event that caused a foreign object to be in his eye but it started bothering him around 10:30 am. He did not seek medical attention until the next day when it became apparent that the object could not be removed by him or the plant nurse. He saw an optometrist to remove it.
