## Narrative

While installing Tech screws into a panel, a metal shaving went in to employee's right eye. EE did not notice it until EE got in EE's car as was going home around 16:20. It felt itchy, and EE began rubbing it. EE didn't think much of it and EE thought EE would just flush it out when EE got home. The pain intensified, and EE called EE's supervisor to report it.
