Narrative

EE was air-arc gouging on frame damage to a scraper. The area was very small and at or above head level causing his head to be surrounded by billowing air, fumes dust and grit. EE felt that he had gotten metal in his eyelashes and then in to his left eye. The first real discomfort he felt was on Saturday, 5/2/09.
