Narrative

Mechanic was assisting with the installation of kiln main burner pipe. While loosening bolts on a rod, bolt broke loose and clinker dust dispersed into the air. The dust got under safety glasses and into left eye. Eye was flushed and mechanic went to doctor to have foreign debris removed. Had to return on 9/16 due to eye still bothering and was given prescriptions.
