Narrative

While changing a fuel transfer pump, technician went to clean off oil pump hardline with Brake Kleen, sprayed above EE's head but the nozzle was facing EE instead of away. Brake Kleen hit EE in the eyebrow and ran down under EE's safety glasses into EE's eye. Immediately flushed eye out at the eye wash station, then flushed again with saline solution.
