Why Eye & Face Protection is Important?
Thousands of people are blinded each year from
work-related eye injuries that could have been prevented with the proper
selection and use of eye and face protection. Eye injuries alone cost more than
$300 million per year in lost production time, medical expenses, and worker
compensation.
Safety Glasses, Safety Goggles and Face Shields are just the beginning of a
comprehensive eye protection program. Choosing the correct eye protection to the
proper application is key to reducing eye injuries in the workplace. It is
mandatory to use appropriate eye or face protection when exposed to eye or face
hazards from flying particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals, acids or caustic
liquids, chemical gases or vapors, or potentially injurious light radiation. |
