Narrative

While grinding a piece of old metal out of a 4-1/4 crusher with a hand held grinder, a small piece of metal shaving became lodged in the right eye. Safety glasses were being worn. The ER ground the metal down the day after the injury. The doctor buffed the eye and stated that the eye would be fine. There were no lost work days because of this injury.
