Final narrative
An employee was cleaning a copy machine. While trying to open the filter compartment to finish the cleaning by rinsing with water, the pressure exerted on the lid caused a solution with possible traces of a sodium hypochlorite to spray into the employee's eyes, resulting in eye irritation that required hospitalization.
