Narrative

Employee was changing bags in a bag house. Dust had accumulated on his hard hat and on top of his goggles. When he removed his goggles to clear off the fog build-up, dust fell into his eyes. He flushed his eyes with water and went home. The next day he went to the doctor and was prescribed Tobrex and Pred-forte.
