What happened

Standing at a washing station at the decontamination room. At [REDACTED] I grabbed a tray of dirty instruments and moved it over to the left sink. I lowered the tray and let it go as I was taught to do. Then the water splashed up and under my face shield. I immediately squinted and took off my double gloves and went to the clean sink and scooped water and poured over my eyes. I still had my PPE on. As soon as I turned around my supervisor [REDACTED] was talking to another employee so I interrupted him to let him know what happened. Discussion occurred and he contacted his supervisor and then called to Nursing supervisor. [REDACTED] instructed me to do 15-minute eye washing in the sterile room.
