Narrative

A roof bolter operator was exposed to fluid when a hydraulic hose was inadvertently actuated and fluid sprayed from a cut in the hose into the employee's left eye. The employee immediately irrigated the affected eye but continued to experience irritation. EE was subsequently evaluated at a medical clinic, where a foreign object was removed from the eye and prescribed antibiotics.
