Narrative

Employee was pounding a pin into position on a trackhoe and a fleck of metal flew up under his safety glasses, striking him in the left eye. He thought it just bounced off and continued working. It was a few days later that his eye became irritated and he discovered that the fleck was lodged up under his eyelid.
