Narrative

IE was removing a cell from a coal hauler battery. The cell top became delaminated causing a gap between the cell top and cell casing. The cell slipped out of IE's hands landing vertically on the floor causing acid to exit the top of the cell. Acid splashed under IE's face shield, around the safety glasses contacting left eye. Prescription eye drops were issued/used 5/31/2017.
