EE was welding on a pipe, when slag from another welder hit his right jaw. The cut was small and was treated with antiseptic and a band aid. The infection he got later is due to his immune system.
He said he was sandblasting steel from a ladder and he felt like he was going to fall. He said he reached out with his left hand to catch himselt and when he did, the blast nozzle in his right hand jerked, causing the sandblasting sand to jump from the intended area of impact and spray his left hand. He was wearing gloves at the time.
