Employee Is Injured When Eyes Sprayed with Epoxy Paint

On August 20, 2002, Employee #1 was cleaning out a clogged spray tip on his spraying apparatus. He removed his protective goggles so he could see the tip better, and then activated the trigger while looking at the nozzle tip. The sprayer shot epoxy paint into both of his eyes, and onto the rest of his face. Employee #1 was transported to Melrose Wakefield Hospital, where he was treated and released that day.
