Narrative

A process attendant received minor irritation to the eyes when hydrated lime inadvertently flushed out of a port when a cap fell off. The employee was attempting to unblock a chute by using a threaded pipe when the cap was accidently hit and came off. Prescribed eye drops were given to the employee for the prevention of infection.
