Narrative

EE was welding on a screen in the product bins. Some General Utility workers were cleaning/walking above and noticed some lime dust fell down onto the EE. EE got some of the lime dust into his left eye. He cleaned it out shortly after, at break. The next day it became red. EE was taken to the doctor and given prescription drops.
