Narrative

Employee was climbing out of sump, when the top of hard hat made contact on top of sump. This resulted in the hard hat contacting the chemical goggles, repositioning them and exposing eyes as the hard hat fell into a puddle of caustic. When the hard hat fell into the caustic, it caused the caustic to splash up and into the employee's left eye.
