Narrative

EE was assisting replacing shanks on a CAT 345 bucket in the pit. The EE was grinding on the shanks that had come off of the bucket. The EE was wearing a shield and safety glasses, but the EE said something got in EE's eye while grinding. The EE was taken to the doctor and was prescribed Antibiotic Ointment Drops for 7 days, thus making the incident reportable.
