## Narrative

Employee & co-worker were patching a railcar from underneath the car, it was a tight spot, when 2 small pieces of rust got behind his safety glasses & became lodged in his eye. We were unsuccessful in removing the specks with water so he was taken to an eye dr. who removed it. He was prescribed eye drops as a precaution for any eye infection. He then returned to work that day.
