While unhooking a drain hose from a carbon truck, an employee felt what he thought was an eye lash in his eye. The employee rubbed his eye with his hand. The object did not move and had become embedded in the eye.
Employee was walking across the yard towards the batch plant when a large gust of wind came up & blew dust in her eyes. She had help flushing her eyes out with saline solution. The next day she came to work & her eyes were still irritated so she was taken to a Dr. where more material was removed from her eye.
An ore process employee was cleaning a discharge chute with a spader. The spader caught his hand in a pinch point.
