OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS are risk associated with working in specific occupations.
There are about four(4) categories of occupational health hazards;biological, ergonomic, chemical, and physical hazards. In addition to the four types of hazards, employers must also consider hazards leading to slips, trips, and falls.
WHY THIS TOPIC?
Recently in my practice I have seen people rushed in with either foreign object in the eye,tear on the lid and scratched cornea etc.
Are you a carpenter, a welder, a painter, cement factory worker or working in a company that uses heavy equipment? Please always request for safety googles before start of work.
Companies and employers of labor should please provide all safety gears to the employees.
Safety education to your workers should be done at least twice a year.
SAVE YOUR SIGHT 👍
