## Narrative

The new employee was standing behind the trainer while she was washing a haul truck.  He asked her about an overhead fixture and as both looked up, the pedestal-mounted water cannon slipped from her grip and flipped over, spraying the new employee directly in the face. His eye was lacerated and treated with antibiotic.
