Narrative

Employee was measuring the froth dosage rate for the B-side cells. He felt something splash on his face. He wiped his face with a rag and went back to his job. After finishing his shift he showered; afterwards he felt a slight stinging in his right eye. When he got up the next day his eye was very red and appeared to have two small blisters on the right corner.
