Narrative

An employee was working on a Welden pump that was pumping water from a concrete pour. There was a leak in the discharge hose which sprayed water in his face when the pump cycled. The water sprayed under his safety glasses and caused significant irritation to his eyes. He was prescribed medication to treat the irritation.
