Narrative

EE had been cleaning the preheat tower. EE took a break to get a drink of water. He lifted up his face shield and tilted his head back to drink out of a gallon jug. When he tilted his face back, dust that had accumulated where the face shield connects to the hard hat fell behind his safety glasses into his right eye. Prescription eye drops were given.
