Struck by flying object

The employee was fueling EE's loader at the end of the shift. It was very windy and dust was blowing off the loader. EE apparently had some of the dirt blown into EE's eye. The dirt and rust particles were removed by an eye doctor. There was no permanent damage to EE's eye.

Fall to the walkway or working surface

The loader operator was getting off the CAT 992G loader at the end of the shift. EE stepped off the counter weight of the machine with EE's right foot onto a level berm. EE stepped onto a piece of #3 stone causing EE's ankle to roll and EE fell to the ground. EE was diagnosed with a sprained ankle.
