Narrative

A worker looked up inside a truck dump hopper under construction and got some debris in his left eye. He was wearing safety glasses. The wind was gusting at the time, and it was later determined that the debris in his eye was dust. He complained of discomfort and irritation. He was prescribed an antibiotic ointment as a precaution against infection.
