Had an injury at school =(

[Nicky.]

Heyy x

Just got home, been in hospital A&E for the last few hours.
I was in D&T (Metal Work) and I was about 2 metres away from the pillar drill.. and my friend was drilling on the drill,

Then next thing I knew, the drill had snapped, exploded sideways, and there was a small piece of metal in my eye.

I shouted s*** really loudly lol - luckily Sir didn't hear!

I went over and told Sir there was some metal in my eye, and he washed it out for me (I got kinda wet!). He said come back in a bit if it still hurts.

So i went back and they rang my dad, and he took me to A&E - we were waiting around an hour then I got called in.

They put some yellow dye in my eye and looked for 'damage' - they said the metal wasnt in there, but it may of scratched my eye and go back in a week ish if it still hurts x

So yah =) - Just thought i'd say what I did today =)

Nicky x

[Ross]

Omg, are you ok?

I hate that yellow stuff, they're like "try not to close your eye" well it's hard when it's basically watering like a waterfall!

Something like that happened to me, but I got poked in the eye with a Pencil by accident. Now my right eyesight is kinda blurry :sad:

Hope you're fine though x

[xDramatick]

Awh that's awful.
I hate anything going near my eyes, I'd have been on the floor screaming.
Then again I overdramatize everything anyway xD

Hope you're okaayyy<33

[Mrluvaluva]

That sounds nasty Nickyy. Hope your eye is better soon.

[Nicky.]

Yah Im ok.. I just cant look left without flintching!

Lol Darenn! Drama queen :p x

&&

I know Ross! Haha! They said Im just gonna look under you eye lid.. and they pulled so hard im suprised its still attached!!! x Killed!

The eye drops are like kinda painful.. it made me laugh that my eye went yellow though lol! x

I blinked really hard it all ran down my face haha! x

[AngRemembered]

Oh dear Nickyy, glad your ok of all the things to do just to get out of metal work class this one is a gem:laugh:
How do you get out of sports day, swallowing Javlins?:joker:

Anyway, I'm glad your ok and out of A&E, now have the rest of the week of, if you were a Chelsea player this injury would put you out for an entire season :laugh: you just rest up and get all the sympathy you can yes milk it Nickyy :wink::whistle:

[MarkWaldorf]

We were always warned about that in DT, but you never expect it to happen. I hope you're okay now though. It MUST have hurt. :sad:

[Nicky.]

Lol Markus - Its just ironic that I wasnt actually on the thing that hit me !

I was just standing there and the next thing I knew there was metal in my eye lol x

Its my sports day on Wednesday Ange =D - its forecast heavy rain and thunder! haha! x - so theres another reason to get out of it hehe! x

Me is well milking it :D x

Lol - It does still hurt though x

[Tom]

Thats why you should wear goggles when around the drill, not that I ever did anyway :whistle:

Eye injuries aren't nice though, I got in the way of an Irn Bru can being threw at someone else and my eye was bloodshot for a month and gave me really bad headaches and made me ill. But I'd rather it was an Irn Bru can than a coke can :laugh:

The point of my little story is to try and find a funny side in it that you'll laugh about in a few weeks! :colour:

[Nicky.]

Lol Tom! Aww!! x

I will try lol x
- and Im sure I will!

[stacey]

aww I hope the pain goes off, if that would of been me I probably would of just rolled around screaming thinking I was going to go blind. Hope your eye will be better soon!

[Chri$]

Awwwwww Bless You


That's why I refuse to do That sorta Stuff in D&T Just Incase lol

Hope you are better x

[*mazedsalv**]

Omg this happened to be last year. I was opening a window and a plastic part went into my eye. I then had to go to hospital and they too put yellow dye in my eye. Nothing was found but they said that it had scartched my eyeball.

I hope your okay!!

[Sam!]

[Harry!]

[Lauren]

Dan ended up drilling his hand when it went everywhere!

There is basically a hole in his hand! x

(Dan = the person who was drilling!) x

[Killian]

Don't they have safety glasses in the classrooms? If not, then that's ridiculous. I'm sorry to hear you had to go through that.

[Nicky.]

Yup they do - but you only have to wear them when your on/ near a machine.. and 2 metres isnt really that near..

Im scared of it now lol x

Have the Health and Safety Inspectorate been informed, and have they launched an investigation?

If someone had to go to hospital, and you said the drill also went into someone's hand, the HSE MUST be called in automatically.

Even an "accident" has to be investigated to see if maintenance on the equipment was skimped, or training procedures were wrong. One of the aims of an investigation is to make sure it doesn't happen again :nono:
