## Narrative

Employee was preparing to weld.  When EE raised EE's face shield, lime that was on the brim of EE's hard hat fell behind EE's safety glasses and got into EE's eye.  EE eyes were rinsed on site, but not all lime could be removed.  EE was seen by a doctor to remove the remaining lime and given prescription eye drops.
