What happened

[REDACTED] we had an incident at furnace 2. I was making my way to line 5 around [REDACTED] and noticed an employee from furnace 2 at eye wash station 4 rinsing his eye. I approached him and asked what happened. He said that they went to open the quench and there was a bunch of debris glass and other material blowing around and immediately felt a sharp pain in his right eye. He did not rub the affected area just made his way to the wash station and began rinsing his eye. After rinsing he said that he felt as if there was still something in the bottom right under his pupil. Pain level after rinsing was a 4 out of 10 and putting eye drops in. EE said that his vision was starting to blur. He was taken to the ER for further evaluation.
