Final narrative
An employee was welding the inner rim plate of a pontoon using a wire welding machine with .045 flux-core welding wire. The employee stopped welding and then proceeded to chip the slag from the weld when a piece of hot slag popped off the weld and landed on the employee's right upper and lower eyelids resulting in second-degree burns.
