Did you know that 200 workers suffer from eye injuries each day in Canada? And yet, 90% of these injuries may have been prevented had the workers been wearing proper eye protection.
These severe injuries force them to take leave from work. From airborne dust or particles to splashes of irritant or corrosive agents through UV radiation, risks are significant in most environments.
HOW TO PROPERLY PROTECT YOUR EYES WITH SAFETY GLASSES?
STEP 1: VISION
The first step is to make sure that by putting the glasses on his face, the worker can see in all directions without obstruction, even when moving.
This way, he can remain alert to his surroundings and avoid the risks of his work environment.
STEP 2: FIT
Effective eye protection fits securely on the worker's face and does not fall off when the worker bends over or moves his head quickly.
With properly fitted eyewear, no matter the danger, your eyes will remain protected.
STEP 3: COVERAGE
The eye area must be completely covered by the glasses to prevent debris from passing between the glasses and the face and potentially causing an injury.
For your eye protection needs, SPI offers many options.
