An eye opener on safety glasses
OH&S professionals widely regard eye protection as one of the most importance tenets of workplace safety and recommend the use of safety glasses for tasks involving the use of power tools, saws, sanders, or any equipment used in the construction industry.
Statistics suggest thousands of employees risk eye injuries every year, many resulting from work related injuries incurred when victims omitted to use proper face protection or safety glasses. Such injuries may result in permanent eye damage and thousands of dollars in lost production time and medical expenses.
Thankfully there are plenty of safety glasses on the market, designed to prevent eye injury or harm caused by the following hazards: airborne particles, glass or wood; sparks from tools and power equipment; radiation or UV light, or chemicals that can damage vision when sprayed into or near eyes.
With experts claiming it is critical for employees and employers to grasp the potential benefits of wearing adequate safety glasses, OH&S specialists can get the latest information on a wide range of eye protection solutions at Safety In Action Melbourne next April.
