Narrative

EE was loading a customer truck when the chute's actuator froze in position. Material backed up into the chute and was forced out of the sample port - lime fines blew around his safety glasses and into his eyes. Attending physician prescribed medication for eyes - follow-up visit on 12/17/13 cleared EE to return to full duty.
