Safety Glasses: An Easy Way to Prevent Eye Injury

Safety glasses are worn in many situations to protect the eyes from physical injury as well as infection and chemical injuries from fumes or spray. Eye injuries are one of the easiest types of injury to avoid. Wearing safety lenses can stop a number of potentially major injuries from happening.

In one case, a young man's safety glasses were penetrated by a staple just after he'd begun getting in the habit of wearing safety lenses. The man's father had recently begun wearing safety glasses on a regular basis as part of a private contractor's safety lenses program. The man encouraged his son, who installed housing siding for a living, to start wearing safety goggles all the time.

The son took special heed of his father's recommendation when he noticed that aluminum dust was getting in to his eyes n the job. About a week after that is when the accident occurred. The son was applying aluminum siding with an air powered staple gun. One of the staples hit a metal plate behind the siding and ricocheted into one of the lenses of his safety glasses.

The metal staple in this situation hit the man with such force that his safety lenses were cracked and he had a ark bruise all long his cheek and eyebrow on that side of this face. You can see pictures of the impaled safety lenses here: http://www.eyesafety.4ursafety.com/eye-safety-articles.html.

One fifth of all work related eye injuries involve chemicals and about 70% of eye injuries on the job involve falling, flying objects or sparks, nearly three-fifths of the involved objects being smaller than a pin head. With this kind of statistical information it's easy to see how unexpected an eye injury can be, as well as how easy it is to protect against such an event.
