Narrative

While grinding on a weld, employee got a small fleck of metal in left eye. The fleck of metal was not able to be removed on site so the employee was taken to the eye doctor to have it removed. The employee received a full duty unrestricted release back to work, but was prescribed two separate prescription eye drops to aid in the healing process, which makes this case reportable.
