Narrative

Employee was transferring Brake Parts Cleaner from the 50 Gallon Drum into a 5 Gallon Bucket. As EE was cranking the hand crank attached to the 50 gallon drum the nozzle spun out of place and sprayed a stream of brake cleaner onto the top of the bucket. The brake cleaner splashed up into behind EE's glasses, onto EE's face and into eyes and mouth.
