Narrative

EE was greasing a fitting on a backhoe. The grease gun came off of the fitting and shot grease back onto him, from the base right side of his neck to his right eye. Grease got under his safety glasses and into his eye. His eye was washed out at the mine and he was taken to a local ER for further evaluation where prescription ointment was applied to his eye.
