Narrative

While drilling on a sheet of steel victim got small sliver of metal embedded in his right eye. The victim was wearing safety glasses at the time , however it was breezy in the area he was working. Once he felt the sliver he irrigated his eyes at the eye wash station, and he thought he had removed the problem. Several days later his right eye was red, itchy and very watery.
