Narrative

The employee was doing normal housekeeping on an elevated catwalk. While clearing 3""-5"" rock from the catwalk a gust of wind blew some debris (dust/fines) over the top of his safety glasses into his eye. After attempting to flush his eye at a wash station he was taken to the ER for examination. The ER applied numbing eye drops to examine, the eye had been scratched.
