Miner was using a grinder. A sliver of metal got behind EE's safety glasses and embedded in EE's right eye, requiring removal from EE's eye doctor. Miner was prescribed eye drops to use for one week and returned to full duty.

Machine had received a major repair, personnel was checking machine for leaks, or excessive vibration. While checking machine for a possible vibration issue I placed my hand on the top of a motor fan guard, the guard had a damaged area allowing my finger to come in contact with the motor fan.

Miner was steam cleaning a piece of equipment when water/grease sprayed into right eye. Miner received medical examination to ensure no damage to eye after flushing.

Miner was grinding a metal guard so it could be welded back into place. The grinder hit a burr and bucked. Right forefinger struck grinding wheel, resulting in a laceration that required five stitches.

Injured was thawing out a water valve. Steam built up in the valve and when it released the steam went under the safety glasses and irritated the injured's eyes, resulting in a burn to left cornea. Injured was treated by medical provider and returned to work.
