## Narrative

EE was in the process of depressurizing a discharge line on a portable pump when a reducer on the line failed.  Discharge line contacted the ee and the ee was knocked to the ground at which time some material entered ee's right eye.  This resulted in a corneal abrasion and a subsequent sensitivity to light which did not allow the employee to return to work.
