Narrative

EE was cutting metal with an abrasive saw when a piece of metal passed by his face shield and glasses and embedded in his eye. He thought it might extract itself but he eventually went into emergency room to have it removed the next day. It was a mild embedding and was quickly extracted by the doctor. There will be no lost time from this accident.
