Narrative

While installing a window on a locomotive, microscopic pieces of glass chipped off the window and landed somewhere on the employee. Some of the glass made its way into the employee's eyes at some point throughout the day and the employee began to feel discomfort. The employee had to seek medical attention; eyes were numbed and the glass was extracted.
