Description
Eye injuries cost industry $300 million each year in compensation and lost work time. The loss of sight can be devastating and is easily preventable. A recent survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) found that three out of five workers who suffered an eye injury wore no eye protection. Of those who did, 40 percent wore the wrong kind. You should wear safety eyewear whenever there is any chance that machines or operations present the hazard of flying objects, chemicals, harmful radiation or a combination of these or other hazards. This course reviews the selection of appropriate eyewear and basic first aid for the eye.
