Narrative

Employee was working on cell maintenance changing out the capblocks and triangle bars. He got a chipping hammer and began to chip the melted capblock off the dogbone so that the new capblock would sit flush in the dog bone channel. It was at this point that a piece of debris went into the employees right eye causing him irritation and discomfort.
