Narrative

EE was caring a bag of sand on his shoulder. A wind gust blew a sand particle into his eye. The employee was wearing safety glasses as required. The employee did not report the incident until he returned to work his next shift (7/24/15). His eye was irritated. The doctor removed the foreign body and gave him a prescription for an antibiotic cream and he returned to work.
