Narrative

A welder was working on the bucket of a dragline. It was a hot day so the welder decided to set up a blower motor aimed at him to cool off. While using the air chipping hammer a small flake of metal was blown under his welding hood and into his right eye by the fan. The employee was taken to workers comp where a doctor removed an embedded metal fragment from his eye.
