About 9 hours after cutting a piece of steel with a plasma cutter he tipped his hardhat and a piece of steel, about the size of a grain of salt, fell into his eye. He tried to irrigate with lots of water. It would not come out. He went to the clinic and they removed it. They gave him a prescription for possible infection on 9-15-2004. No permenant damage was done.
