Narrative

Our employee was approaching the pressure gun/wand (approximately 5 ft. away) during startup. Apparently the trigger gun discharged hitting employee in the face, knocking employee's safety glasses off employee's face and causing an injury to the right eye. As there were no witnesses, this is employee's account.
