Narrative

Electrician picked a piece of dragline cable up and the wind blew sand in his eyes. The employee flushed his right eye out with a first-aid eye wash, but was still a little scratchy. Employee was taken to the Emergency Room and was diagnosed with conjuctivitis, caused by an allergic reaction from the sand. He was given two prescriptions for his eyes.
