## Narrative

Employee used an air impact wrench to tighten bolts on a new liner in box.  Apparently, metal was floating in the air and fell in his eye.  He thought it was dust and went home at the end of his shift.  His eye became irritated through the morning and he went to a physican.  This is MSHA reportable because he was given prescription eye medication.
