Narrative

The employee was cleaning a pedestal floor plate w/a grinder and wire wheel when foreign material got into EE's right eye. The employee was wearing Safety Glasses and a Face Shield at the time of the incident. EE immediately came down from the machine and flushed EE's eye to remove the material from EE's eye. I was notified and continued flushing the eye with eyewash.
