Narrative

While sweeping the floor, employee backed up and bumped into a low-hanging 3/4"" air hose that was suspended approximately 5' off the ground causing dust to spill off an overhead airslide down onto his hard hat and face. Some dust got into his left eye. He was unsuccessful washing all the dust of his eye and needed medical attention to remove the dust.
