Narrative

Miner finished welding under the primary jaw crusher while wearing a welding/grinding hood. They switched to a face shield and used a wire wheel to clean the welds. They removed the shield, put on their safety glasses, and began moving the tools out from under the jaw crusher. Wind moved some of the dust as they climbed out. They then felt something in their left eye.
