## Narrative

An employee was unloading a 3x3x1 section of gap grating from the bed of a pickup.  A sudden gust of wind caused loose dust (dirt) to be blown into his face and eyes.  Attempts to flush the dust from his left eye were unsuccessful.  A doctor flushed the dust from the eye and administered an antibiotic prescription medication as a precaution.
