Narrative

Miner was changing dozer tilt hose on 9/9/2015, when he felt some sort of dirt particle fall into his left eye. He tried flushing his eye afterwards. The eye was still irritated the next day and was brought to the clinic. The particle was removed and he was prescribed some Tobradex for preventative measures.
