## Narrative

While getting ready to fire Cardox tube. I hit a beam with tube, knocking down dust onto himself and his hardhat. After hooking up wires, he looked up, and dust that was on his hard hat fell behind his face shield and his safety glasses, getting into his eyes and face. He felt burning and rinsed out eyes using eye wash station
