Narrative

The Employee was preparing to start up the lime AB system when some quicklime became dislodged and the wind blew the quicklime into the face of the EE. The EE used the eyewash system for a few minutes to wash out eyes and face and had not further issues until the EE tried to remove contact lenses which caused a corneal abrasion due to the quicklime
