Narrative

The employee was building a brattice and as he was driving a cap wedge over a block, his hammer hit the roof and a small piece of rock hit him in the right eye. He was wearing safety glasses. He went to the doctor and had the foreign object removed. This is a medical only report. There were no restricted or lost work days.
