Narrative

EE was chipping hot slag on river barge, and a piece of hot slag bounced and entered his full face welding helmet and safety glasses and rested on his eye. He flushed it quickly, and the foreign object was washed out. EE was sent to eye doctor to have it checked, and was given antibiotic eye drops to take for three days. It was diagnosed as a superficial burn on the eye.
