## Narrative

EE was on top of kiln removing shims from under pads on #3 tire.  After old shims were removed, compressed air was used to clean rust, scale, slag, etc. from under pads before installing new shim.  Wind was blowing and something got in EE eye.  Minor irritation persisted until medical treatment was sought.
