Eye protection has become a key factor when it comes to industrial safety. With 21% of the total number of workplace injuries each year related to the eyes, the need for protective eyewear has become a sensitive topic for many involved in the industry.
Here are some guidelines, a list of tips that any employer should keep in mind in order to ensure industrial safety by providing excellent eye safety measures for employees in the workplace.
1. Require the use of goggles. In most jurisdictions, workplace safety organizations (such as yulong) now require protective eyewear. Some industries are regularly exposed to eye hazards and the only way workers should always be protected from these hazards without stopping work is to require them to wear safety-rated goggles such as goggles, face shields, helmet masks, protective eyewear, etc.
2. The protection you choose to provide your employees should be of the highest quality. The polycarbonate lenses in high-end protective eyewear (such as those made by WileyX) provide the best ultimate in eye protection.
3. Protective eyewear should be customizable. Protection that workers can't wear comfortably will only lead to more accidents because workers will keep taking their glasses off for comfort. The product you choose for your employees should at least be adjustable.
4. Keep protective eyewear clean. Regularly check for cracks, tears, loose frames or other defects.
5. Hold regular safety seminars just to remind workers that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Most industrial accidents, whether eye related or not, occur as a result of carelessness.
6. Hire employees who can provide immediate clinical assistance. Whether a full-time doctor or nurse, providing expert care to workers will go a long way toward preventing long-term eye damage.
7. Provide anti-fog solutions. Some protective eyewear in certain environmental conditions tends to condense. When condensation occurs, fog can build up, severely damaging the wearer's vision and increasing the likelihood of industrial accidents. High-end anti-fog solutions, such as Fogtech Advanced Anti-Fog, are an excellent choice for such emergencies.
8. Conduct periodic assessments of the workplace to determine if current eye protection is adequate and if the work environment has changed and new eye protection needs to be implemented.
