Narrative

Miner was welding with a welding hood/shield on. When EE was done, EE removed EE's hood and began to knock extra slag off with a hammer. When EE struck the weld a shard projected back and struck EE's eye. EE did not feel this until several days went by and did not go to the doctor until 7/1/2025.
