Narrative

EE was spraying an intake stopping with a TC Spray machine when the machine got stopped up with debris. When the debris broke free the wand swung around spraying the TC Spray sealant under the EE's glasses & hard hat. The material got into the EE's left eye causing discomfort & swelling. EE was prescribed eye drops & returned to work on EE's next regularly scheduled shift.
