Case Study One

Stephanie is $16-$years old and works in the kitchen of a nursing home. To clean cooking pans,

she soaks them in a powerful cleaning solution. She uses kitchen gloves to protect her hands

and arms.

One day, as Stephanie was lifting three large pans out of the cleaning solution at once, the

pans slipped out of her hands and back into the solution, which splashed all over the side of

her face and into her left eye. She was blind in one eye for two weeks. Stephanie was

lucky...she got her eyesight back.
