This is an expansion of a previous advice relating to the incident in this text:
On January 11, 2012 at approximately 3:15 p.m., a long term scaffolding company’s auto-mechanic was working on the braking system of one of their vehicles. He was removing a metal bearing from the brake assembly. He had the piece in the bench mounted vice and was cutting the bearing with an electric grinder and breaking the bearing with a hammer.
He was wearing goggles and gloves.
He removed his goggles to answer his mobile phone and then continued to work on the bearing without replacing his eye protection.
While hammering the bearing to complete the break, a piece of metal flew and hit his eye. The auto-mechanic reported to the medical centre and was immediately sent to the eye specialist unit in the regional hospital where he has later received surgery.
“Intrusions, breaks, distractions, and discrepancies-have different causes and consequences, we delineate the principle features of each and specify when each kind of interruption is likely to have positive or negative consequences for the person being interrupted.” Excerpt from a research paper by QUINTUS R. JETT, JENNIFER M. GEORGE; Rice University
