Narrative

#3 kiln burner fan blade inspection.. raised safety glasses to see.. blew(by mouth) dust from one blade looking for cracks.. most of the dust particles dispersed, but a few particles made their way under the eye lid.. .we were unable to completely wash out.. irritation and scratching resulted in doctor cleaning twice and a anti-biotic. .no lost time or restrictions.. already healed
