Narrative

Operator was emptying a hydrated lime bin. When EE dumped the bin, the material covered EE's feet and up EE's legs. The operator turned to get out of the material and fell face first in a pile of hydrated lime. The hydrated lime mashed around and under EE's safety glasses going into EE's eyes.
