Narrative

EE was hammering out a jib pin when a piece of foreign material (presumably paint) went under safety glasses and into left eye. EE was sent for evaluation and diagnosed with a scratch to the cornea of left eye. No material was found or removed from eye and EE was released with no restrictions. EE was issued prescription eye drops making this event reportable.
