Narrative

The worker was waiting for a container to be filled with degreaser. Although EE initially had EE's safety glasses on, EE removed them upon entering the room because the area was darker. During the filling process, the pump malfunctioned and the hose detached due to inadequate fastening, causing the product to splash directly onto the worker's face and eyes.
