Eye Protection
In many work place environments the wearing of face and eye protection is mandatory. Eye injuries can translate into pain, loss of time, money and loss of sight. Many day to day tasks can involve flying debris that can cause serious injuries to the eyes.
Eye protection is a requirement by law under regulation 4 of the Personal Protective Equipment At Work Regulation 1992 when working in an hazardous area. Employers have to provide suitable personal protective equipment to the exposed employee.
- Impact hazards
Staff working with wood, metal, paint chips, dirt, and concrete particles are at most risk from impact hazards. - Chemical
Splash
Staff working chemicals need all round protection as the hazard can attack from all sides. Unvented goggles should be worn to give full eye protection. - Face Protection
Suitable where the risk is flying particles and liquid splash and there is a requirement to protect the whole face, with the benefit of additional ventilation offers the wearer more comfort.
