Narrative

Employee was trying to put the South Bulk scope back together and material fell into his right eye. He had the bracket in his hand as he was looking at it, material fell from above, most likely from the scope. The scope was cleaned down before that job was started. There was not much of a breeze at the time of the incident, but it was in a west to east direction.
