Eye Safety
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 found that three out of five workers who suffered an eye injury wore no eye protection. Of those who did, 40% 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.
