Narrative

EE was helping co-worker tighten up a check curtain in the intake on #2 section. While reaching up to put a nail in the curtain, a small rock hit him on the left side of his face & forced his safety glasses into his face below the eye. A small cut on his cheek was cleaned & a butterfly bandage applied. He later went to see a dermatologist & received sutures for cosmetic reasons.
