Narrative

Employee was in the process of cleaning out the step chute on FM1 from the 014 East/West belt. The employee looked through the inspection door when the blaster that was installed to keep the chute clear discharged throwing material in his face. Even though he was wearing his safety glasses some material entered his left eye.
