Narrative

Was tightening bolts when one of the wrenches EE was using slipped off the bolt. The bolts were at eye level and the employee was standing while conducting this work. EE was using an adjustable spud wrench and a box end wrench to tighten bolts. Due to the force and angle, the spud wrench slipped and struck them under right eye.
