Narrative

Employee was attempting to use compressed air to bow down some sticky material. He forgot to turn off the air cannons and opened up a 1"" hole to put the air lance into. Just as he was inserting the air lance, the air cannon fired and blew hot dust out the hole knocking his face shield and glasses off his head. He got hot dust into both eyes. He has scratches on both eyes.
