## Narrative

A storm was coming in and the wind had picked up. Employees were cleaning up the work site in preparation when one employee had a bit of sandblasting sand blow up under his safety glasses and into his eye. Flushing with water did not remove it so he saw a physician who removed it and prescribed eye drops.
