Employee was using a cutting torch to remove the old steel floor liner in a type B sand screw.  Previously someone made a repair with crusher backing.  When the employee finished cutting he removed his goggles, unaware that there was crusher backing there.  Since the crusher backing had been heated a piece popped off and struck him in his left eye.
