Narrative

The employee was removing a mill slurry hose normally not under pressure, when the hose sprayed TiO2 slurry all over his face and in his right eye. He washed his face and flushed his eye with water but decided to see a doctor after his eye developed a thick mucus the next morning. The doctor washed his eye and prescribed an ointment for 7 day use.
