Narrative

On 3/8/the employee had been grinding on a crusher chute. He lifted his shield, removed his glasses, and wiped his face off with a rag and afterwards noticed something in his eye. He thought he got it out but when he woke up on 3/9/ his eye was red and irritated. He went to the eye doctor who then removed a piece of rusty metal from his eye and was given a prescription eye drop.
