Narrative

Employee was removing scrap repair items from a loader bucket and throwing them into a dumpster. He got a little piece of something in his right eye. He used eye wash to wash out his eye. He said it felt fine, so he went back to work. That night, his eye was bothering him, so he went to an urgent care facility. They told him he had a corneal abrasion.
