Narrative

Technician was tightening a bolt for a hose clamp under a 793F Truck, when dust fell and hit near their right eye. They felt debris enter the eye, so they proceeded to flush eyes several times. The debris was unable to be removed locally, so they were treated at a local clinic for removal.
