Narrative

IE was installing a 10ft cable bolt. It is believed the bolt was damaged during installation. IE said EE installed the bolt, dropped the pot and the bolt spun. A flying particle struck IE's safety glasses and contacted eye. E.R. exam showed a small cornea contusion - no foreign material found in the eye. Prescription ointment was issued as a precaution to prevent infection.
