Narrative

Employee was responding to a metal detector alert on a coal belt. This belt uses an electrically actuated air jet to mark the location of tramp metal. He removed the metal piece and then went to use his radio, when the air jet fired unexpectedly sending coal dust into his left eye. Coal particle was removed by a physician and an antibiotic was prescribed.
