Narrative

IE was pouring hydraulic fluid into rock breaker at the jaw when some fluid spilled/splashed up and into IE's face. IE was wearing safety glasses but fluid ran down IE's face and into IE's R eye. Another EE was in the area but not a witness to the accident & helped IE flush out eye at eye wash station. IE was taken to local ER and treated & released to go back to work that night.
