Narrative

I was cutting on the bottom of a washer on the Dredge, when the cutting torch popped and sparks flew from the metal & rust that I was cutting. At the time I felt something stinging in my eye. Tried to wash it out with no success, then reported it to my Supervisor. I was wearing safety cutting glasses at the time.
