Narrative

EE was building up bearing blocks for the shovel. When he finished making a pass, he lifted up his welding hood, when a piece of slag popped up from where he was welding and hit his eye. EE was taken to the front gate, eye flushed and then taken to the doctor. He was given a prescription for his eye and released back to work with no restrictions.
