Narrative

An employee was cleaning out a chute on the #1 river belt. While doing so, the employee accidentally turned on the valve of a water hose and the water hose was inadvertently angled toward the employee's face. When the second valve was turned on, the hose sprayed water into the employee's eyes, causing an eye injury.
