Narrative

EE stated he had been working at the clay dome welding plates to anchor bolts for steel erection. He said he doesn't remember any foreign material entering his eye. This resulted in not realizing there was ever a problem. There was additional welding taking place by another coworker, he said he was not sure if it was just irritated by a potential flash burn.
