## Narrative

Employee used a bench grinder to smooth up a weld on a clip that went on an auto sampler.  While grinding, a foreign object hit his cheek, went under his safety glasses and landed in his left eye.   He was smoothing it to prevent anyone from being injured on the sharp edges.  Did not think to use a face shield as he was only doing a minimal amount of grinding.
