Narrative

An employee was using a 4-inch angle grinder when debris went underneath EE's safety glasses and irritated EE's right eye. The employee stated EE could not use face shield at the time because EE was in very tight quarters while grinding. The employee was taken to E.R., where EE's eye was flushed and the debris removed. EE was given a full release with no restrictions.
