Employee Is Injured When Struck in Eye by Metal Particle

At approximately 4:45 p.m. on November 23, 2004, Employee #1 and a coworker were installing a flare disk on one of the flaring machine spindles. To install the disk, the coworker had lowered the disk into place with an overhead chain-fall while Employee #1 attempted to force the disk onto the spindle by striking the disk with a metal hammer. The impact of the hammer onto the flare disk sent a particle into Employee #1's eye. Employee #1 was wearing safety glasses, but they did not prevent the injury. Imprinted on the rubber handle of the hammer was the warning, "WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES, USER AND BY- STANDER." The company did not make goggles available to employees because the wheel fabrication line was a hot environment and goggles fogged up. Employee #1 was hospitalized and the particle had to be removed surgically.
