Narrative

Miner was re-welding cracks on the rotex frames and at some point a piece of the metel got in his eye. He was not aware that this happened until he arrived at home and his eye started to bother him. He went to the ER and they took a small piece of metal out of his eye. He was wearing the proper PPE during the welding.
