## Narrative

While welding windows on a carbon column tank, a fresh carbon transfer was happening in the area. During the transfer water that had carbon in it sloshed down onto the area of work. Water with carbon splashed onto the welder's hood while it was up and a piece of carbon got into their eye. They tried to flushed it out at the sink.
