Narrative

While changing a screen panel in the Deister wet screen, the employee lifted a panel over his face, banging it on the screen frame. Grit spilled into his face, past his safety glasses and into his left eye causing an abrasion of the cornea. His eye was flushed at the site. The company physician administered a prescription eye medication.
