## Narrative

The employee was lowering a ramp from the hood of the kiln to the front of the kiln.  When he got the ramp near the floor, he let the door drop the last few inches.  It caused a puff of dust which caused something to get into his right eye.  He flushed the eye multiple times to no avail.
