Narrative

A miner was working at an electrical panel when they attempted to wipe sweat from beneath their safety glasses with their left hand. They did not realize that they were holding a small 14-gauge jumper wire, which contacted the white area of their left eye causing visible redness and slight bleeding. The miner was seen at a clinic and received prescription medication.
