Dunning Sand & Gravel Company Inc · Struck by flying object
The employee was bolting a bracket with an impact gun on a water truck. The air from the exhaust of the impact gun disrupted some metal shavings that entered the employee's right eye. The employee was wearing eye protection at the time of the incident. The eye was flushed several times with water and he thought that it was ok.
