Eye Protection Safety Training

Our eyes are one of the most important tools we have. Unfortunately, our eyes are also the organ most vulnerable to occupational injuries. The Blueprints for Safety® Eye Protection Program presents a simple, step-by-step approach to help you easily develop a program that will provide employees with the training and information they need to work safely in areas that may present hazards to the eye.

• Nearly 100,000 eye injuries occur on the job each year, many resulting in partial or complete loss of sight and, in some cases, total disability.

• The cost in medical payments, workers' compensation and lost workdays because of eye injuries is substantial.

An effective eye protection program will help you do these things:

• Identify eye hazards in the workplace

• Create and implement eye protection practices

• Train employees to protect their eyes

By understanding eye hazards and training all employees in eye protection, you can reduce the risk of eyesight loss and increase the safety of the workplace.
