Investigation Summary
On January 23, 2003, Employee #1, a mechanic, was working to clean the corroded terminal posts of a 12-volt lead acid battery. This work was being performed at the end of the second shift and Employee #1 was not wearing safety glasses. As he used a hand-held wire brush to clean the posts, some corrosive material was projected into his right eye. Employee #1 was initially transported to Carroll County General Hospital in Baltimore, but due to the nature of his injury was moved to John Hopkins Eye Center for treatment.
