## Narrative

EE was handing lagging up to his partner on the floor above. As he slid the lagging up a small particle of rock was dislodged and entered his eye through the gap between the top of his glasses and his forehead. The rock caused an abrasion to his cornea. He was given a prescription antibiotic as a precaution against infection. He was given a release to work his next shift.
