Outfitting part-time workers with safety eyewear that delivers broad protective coverage, all-day comfort and modern style, all at a great value, is a challenge among safety managers. To simplify the process, Honeywell has launched three new lines of safety eyewear: the Uvex SVP 200, 300 and 400 Series.
Assess-
Look carefully at plant operations. Inspect all work areas, access routes, and equipment for hazards to eyes. Study eye accident and injury reports. Identify operations and areas the present eye hazards.
Test-
Uncorrected vision problems can cause accidents. Provide vision testing during routine employee physical exams.
Eye injuries in the workplace are very common. More than 2,000 people injure their eyes at work each day. About 1 in 10 injuries require one or more missed workdays to recover from. Of the total amount of work-related injuries, 10-20 percent will cause temporary or permanent vision loss.
Experts believe that the right eye protection could have lessened the severity or even prevented 90% of eye injuries in accidents.
When the snow and cold of winter begin to roll in, we often take steps to protect ourselves from the impending cold and flu season. But it may surprise you to know that the cold of winter may have a few potential risks in store for our vision as well.
#1: Dry Air
As outdoor temperatures drop during the winter, the air becomes colder and can no longer hold as much atmospheric water vapor–humidity–as warmer air present during the rest of the year.
More than 20 million Americans suffer from severe vision loss. While not all eye diseases can be prevented, there are simple steps that everyone can take to help their eyes remain healthy now and reduce their chances of vision loss in the future.
There are many things you can do to keep your eyes healthy. Follow these simple steps:
Have a comprehensive dilated eye exam. When it comes to common vision problems, some people don’t realize they could see better with glasses or contact lenses. In addition, many common eye diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic eye disease and age-related macular degeneration often have no warning signs.
Weighing just 19.3 grams, Gateway Safety’s new safety product is one of the lightest safety glasses on the market. Ellipse™ safety eyewear features exceptional light weight, which provides superior comfort to wearers, while still meeting the rigorous U.S. Military specification for ballistic impact resistance.
While employers are responsible for providing the personal protective equipment to keep all their workers safe, a one-size-fits-all approach rarely meets the needs of each individual. This is especially true when it comes to safety eyewear.
