Narrative

EE stated that while he was grinding on a weld Saturday he felt like dust in his eye but thought he wiped it out. He finished his shift and Sunday morning he woke and felt something in his eye. He went to the eye doctor on Monday morning where the dust was removed and he was prescribed antibiotic drops for his eyes. He returned to work the next shift with a full release.
