## Narrative

We were pulling out the slide gate out of #4 cooler fan on K-2. I was laying down on the catwalk so I could put the bolts in to hold the slide. The fan started while we were  securing the gate. That's when a cloud of high pressure dust hit me in the face and eyes. I tried to flush my eyes 3 times before going to see the eye doctor. (Prescription medication was given.)
