## Narrative

While welding, employee stopped and lifted EE's helmet and itched EE's eye with EE's glove which must have had something on it. We flushed EE's eye with eye wash solution but after awhile EE said that it felt like there was something scratching EE' eye and ask to have it checked out. A small piece of metal was removed with a cotton swab but EE was given a precautionary antibiotic.
