Narrative

EE entered the cyclone area of the riser through the man way door on floor 1E. As EE was walking to his work area he said that the fan that was inside the work area blew dust into his eyes. The fan was inside to provide air movement along with an air horn to disperse airborne particulates to the outside atmosphere.
