Alert 05 – 40 Welding Operations Results in an Eye Injury
WHAT HAPPENED:
A rig welder began to feel discomfort in his eye. Believing it may be a flash burn he stopped working, checked all PPE and then continued with his normal duties. The next morning the discomfort continued so he decided he should see a Physicians Assistant. A small piece of metal was found and a rust ring had formed. He was treated and returned to work.
