👷♂️ Tradies Health Month: Protect Your Most Valuable Tools – Your Eyes
August is Tradies Health Month, and we’re shining a light on one of the most overlooked parts of the job—eye protection!
Whether you're a sparkie, chippy, plumber, or painter, your eyes face daily hazards that can cause irritation, injury, or long-term vision problems. Here's what many tradies encounter:
🔸 Flying debris & dust – Sawdust, metal shavings, concrete particles or insulation fibres can scratch the eye or cause infections.
🔸 UV exposure – Working outdoors? Your eyes are constantly exposed to harmful UV rays, which can lead to cataracts and macular damage over time.
🔸 Chemical splashes – Glues, solvents, and cleaning agents can cause painful and serious eye injuries if not properly shielded.
🔸 Bright lights & glare – Welding arcs and reflected glare can cause temporary or even permanent vision loss if your eyes aren't properly protected.
🔸 Impact risks – Even a dropped tool or flicked wire can cause trauma to the eye if safety glasses aren't worn.
👓 Whether you need prescription safety glasses, sunglasses with UV protection, or regular eye checks, we can help you stay sharp and safe on the job.
This Tradies Health Month, put your eye health on the tools list. Book an appointment to talk about the right protective eyewear for your work and your vision.
