Crew was performing maintenance on a rock crusher on a very windy day. Employee states that a small object blew into his eye even though he was wearing protective goggles over his eye glasses. He immediately rinsed his eye with an eye wash, but the irritation continued for a week, so he sought medical attention. He was diagnosed with a scratch on his right eye.
