Narrative

Employee was using a bar working on unplugging a pipe. While working, employee's hand struck employee's helmet-mounted earmuffs and knocked hard hat and safety glasses partially off face. At the same time, an employee one floor above had opened an inspection door, and vibration caused ground lime to fall through grate flooring and into the lower employee's eye.
