Narrative

The employee was injured when he opened a port on top of a cement silo to take a silo level measurement. The silo was full and continuing to fill, which caused the material to blow into his eyes. The material in his eyes resulted in scratches to the cornea of both eyes. He was taken to a local hospital where his eyes were flushed and medication given.
