While performing overhead torch work to cut bolts, the miner was struck by hot slag. The slag traveled between the face shield and safety glasses and contacted the eyelid. The miner was evaluated by an ophthalmologist, where a small foreign body was removed and the burn was treated with prescribed ointment.
