## Narrative

The injured employee and co-workers had installed a new pump in a outby area of  mine. The employees were hanging the 3"" discharge line to the mine roof when the discharge line came off the pump and sprayed water and mud into the face and eyes of the employee after the safety glasses were knocked off. This resulted in a small tear to the retina of the left eye.
