Narrative

EE was helping clean a plugged pipe and material blew behind his safety glasses and got into his eyes. He flushed and was sent to the Eye Dr. for evaluation. EE was diagnosed with mild scratching and irritation and returned to work. Treatment included another flush and application of a prescription medication to prevent infection. No foreign material was embedded or removed.
