Narrative

A mechanic was replacing a conveyor belt in the lime plant. Lime fell from the upper level onto the mechanic's goggles. When the mechanic adjusted the goggles, lime fell into eye. After flushing the eyes on-site, the mechanic was taken to a doctor, prescribed 7 days of a prescription eye medication, and released to full duty for next scheduled shift.
