Narrative

A hydrate bag fell off the end of the hydrate bag conveyor belt and busted when the bag hit a corner of a wood pallet. The bag busted causing hydrate lime to go into the employee's eyes. It went into the right eye more than the left eye. It caused eye irritation for which the employee was prescribed ointment and eye drops.
