Narrative

While welding on the dipstick tube, a piece of slag popped off, hitting his right eye lid. He was wearing glasses but the slag came in from the top of the frame and stuck to the eye lid. He was also using a welding helmet. EE did not stop work but later he did go to the clinic to make sure the burn did not hurt his eye.
