Narrative

EE was performing inspections when they noticed dust burping from the vent line above the feed bin on the fourth floor of the Preheat Tower. They said they looked up to identify where it was coming from when dust vented out and landed just above their glasses under the brim of their hat. Dust entered their left eye causing irritation. They received antibiotic ointment for the eye.
