IP was a grinder tasked to take up CSA role on the Main Deck and he was instructed to check on an air
manifold by his Supervisor as the compressed air supplied to his colleague working in COT 4(P) was
weak. While doing so, his left hand and both legs were shot with pressurized water vapour and grit
mixture. He was later accompanied to “My Family Clinic” and was given treatment as well as a jab. He
was later issued 2 days MC (12/12/17-13/12/17). IP then visited another clinic, “West Point Surgery
Centre” on 14/12/17 and was given 4 days LD (14/12/17-17/12/17). IP subsequently went to “West
Point Surgery Centre” on 18/12/17 for bandage cleaning and awarded additional 2 days LD
(18/12/17-19/12/17). IP was then scheduled for another cleaning of wound on 20/12/17 and was
told to update the Department for any change in status.
The ‘N95’ designation means that when subjected to careful testing, the respirator blocks at least 95%
of very small (0.3 micron) test particles. If properly fitted, the filtration capabilities of N95 respirators
exceed those of face masks. However, even a properly fitted N95 respirator does not completely
eliminate the risk of dust/fume inhalation.
