Maintenance worker used a torch to cut a bolt off of a conveyor idler. They hit the idler with a hammer and the piece of bolt they had cut off flew up and hit them in the right eye. (safety glasses were slid down on the tip of nose and did not protect from injury.) The result of the incident was a hematoma on the eye and a scratched cornea.
