Narrative

A man was spraying a fire proofing material on the rib in a scoop charger when the nozzle plugged up. As he was cleaning the nozzle, the injured person was standing beside him. Some spray came out of the nozzle as he was cleaning it and went onto the man's safety glasses and a portion of the material went behind the glasses and into his eyes causing an irritation.
