MIN-AD Inc · Struck by flying object

Employee was outside talking with the operations superintendent. The employee was wearing glasses when the wind blew material into his eye. He washed it out immediately. He did not go to the hospital until the next day when he realized the material was still in his eye and that his eye was still irritated.
