Narrative

The EE was standing next to the cart located at the bottom of the preheater tower, having a conversation with the Manager. EE was wearing eye protection, but a gust of wind blew calciner dust off the deck above the EE, and into EE's right eye. EE reported it as a first aid, but the next morning due to irritation, went to the Dr. EE was prescribed anti-inflammatory eye drops.
