Narrative

Employee had just swept up the machine shop floor and poured the sweepings into a bin. Some dust flew up into the air and he got a foreign particle in his right eye. Went home that night feeling ok, next morning he could feel the matter in his eye. Went to the doctor on 5/16/08 and had his eye flushed out and given prescription drops.
