Narrative

While handing the equipment from a lower floor up one level, the wind blew a particle into the employee's eye. He was wearing both a full face shield and safety glasses at the time. First aid was given, washing out the eye and removing the contact lens. Subsequently in the days that followed he visited his eye doctor as a precaution and was given prescription eye drops.
