Narrative

While operating the Wagner 2DS scoop, the cab hit a belt chain that was hanging down from the mine roof and rock dust and rust from the chain flew into right eye. Went to the optometrist on 3/20/12 & removed the floating particles from the eye and kept employee off from work for one shift. Was also given a prescription pain medication.
