Narrative

A plant maintenance welder was welding in a confined area at our jaw crusher feeder box when he was subjected to welding flash. Due to the precarious position he was in, his helmet got hung up on a support beam above him as he was flipping it down to cover his face. Subsequently striking an arc and receiving enough ultra violet rays to cause some cornea burns of the left eye.
