Narrative

EE was changing screen on load out wash screen. While doing so he was in middle deck torching ""J"" bolts from upper deck. A metal slag from ""J"" bolt fell onto employee's face by his eyebrow and worked under safety glasses. We flushed eye out & took him to medical clinic where they flushed eye out and gave medical prescription cream for eye.
