March is Workplace Eye Wellness Awareness Month!!!
Workplace eye injuries are surprisingly common, according to reports by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. But a simple precaution could prevent most of these disasters--Wearing Protective Eyewear!!
The eyewear you need depends on the hazards you face:
Wear:
-Safety glasses with side protection (side shields) if you work around particles, flying objects, or dust;
-Goggles if you handle chemicals;
-Specially designed safety glasses, goggles, face shields or helmets if you work near hazardous radiation, such as welding, lasers, or fiber optics.
-All protective eyewear should comply with OSHA regulations for eye and face protection.
