Narrative

Employee was using a blower to blow dust off his body. As he moved the hose over his chest and up toward his face the blast of air blew his safety glasses off his face and they fell to the ground. Employee believes dust got blown into his right eye at that moment. Around noon, his eye began to hurt and was swollen and bloodshot. Treated for corneal abrasion.
