Narrative

Technician was tapping on dust collector piping when debris fell between EE's eyes and EE's safety glasses. EE immediately rubbed the right eye and started to feel some discomfort. EE finished the shift and went home. EE woke up that afternoon and EE's eye was irritated and red so EE flushed it out numerous times.
