Safety eyewear has been an extremely important factor in reducing eye injuries.
Eye injuries most often occur because of a failure to wear eye protection.
![Page 3: Safety eye wear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5876ab071a28abd6508b789f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
OSHA Regulates safety eyewear standardsThe occupational safety and health
administration (OSHA).
It would be difficult to list every situation in which eye protection must be worn.
Stating that “protective eye and face equipment shall be required where there is a reasonable probability of injury that can be prevented by such equipment”.

The American National Standards institute has established standard ANSI Z87-1 for safety glasses in the United States, then established elsewhere.
OSHA provides guidance on type of safety eye wear, that should used for a particular application
![Page 5: Safety eye wear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5876ab071a28abd6508b789f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
In a no: of work situations ,workers are cleaning their glasses constantly.
In these situations, plastics and polycarbonate lenses may scratch.
Glass lenses withstand scratching better and will not have to be replaced constantly.
Badly scratched lenses are irritating to wear and, if vision is impaired, may create a safety hazard.
![Page 6: Safety eye wear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5876ab071a28abd6508b789f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Basic impact thickness requirements
For a number of years, thickness requirements for prescription safety lenses have been a minimum of 3.0mm.
The reason for the exception is because high plus lenses are much thicker in the center.
Therefore these lenses may be thinned to a 2.5mm minimum edge thickness and still remain strong because of their overall thickness.

Basic impact testing requirementsDress lenses are required to withstand the impact of 5-8 inches of steel ball dropped
from 50 inches.
Safety lenses must withstand the impact of a 1 inch steel ball dropped from 50 inches.

WHY SHOULD WE BE CONCERN WITH EYE SAFETY?EYE INJURIES OF ALL TYPES OCCUR AT
THE RATE OF ABOUT 2OOO/DAY
10% TO 20% OF THESE INJURIES RESULT IN TEMPORARY OR PERMENENT VN LOSS.
3 OUT OF 5 PEOPLE WHO RECEIVE SUSTAINABLE EYE INJURIES WERE NOT WEARING EYE PROTECTION.
![Page 9: Safety eye wear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5876ab071a28abd6508b789f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What are some causes of eye injuries?Flying objects – A survey
conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, found that about 70% of eye injuries were caused by flying debris or falling objects
Contact with ChemicalsMisuse of tools:
improper guards, poor maintenance, poor safety habits

Safety glasses should be shieldedShielding provides
better protection from flying debris
It provides protection against chemicals which may be suspended in the air
![Page 15: Safety eye wear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5876ab071a28abd6508b789f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
GogglesGoggles provide
greater protection from splashes, liquids and dusts than shielded safety glasses
They should fit tightly against your face
They provide the best protection against liquid pesticides and other toxic chemicals
![Page 16: Safety eye wear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5876ab071a28abd6508b789f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Face shieldsFace shields are used
where you have a very high chance of exposure to an airborne substance
A face shield is not enough to protect your eyes by itself; It should be worn with approved safety glasses

Impact Hazards: Safety Spectacles
Safety spectacles are intended to shield the wearer's eyes from impact hazards such as flying fragments, objects, large chips, and particles. Workers are required to use eye safety spectacles with side shields when there is a hazard from flying objects.
![Page 19: Safety eye wear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5876ab071a28abd6508b789f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Impact Hazards: Safety Goggles Safety goggles are intended to
shield the wearer's eyes from impact hazards such as flying fragments, objects, large chips, and particles.
Goggles fit the face immediately surrounding the eyes and form a protective seal around the eyes. This prevents objects from entering under or around the goggles.
![Page 20: Safety eye wear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5876ab071a28abd6508b789f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Impact Hazards: Face Shields
Face shields are intended to protect the entire face, or portions thereof, from impact hazards such as flying fragments, objects, large chips, and particles.
When worn alone, face shields do not protect employees from impact hazards. Use face shields in combination with safety spectacles or goggles for additional protection.
![Page 21: Safety eye wear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5876ab071a28abd6508b789f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Heat Hazards: Safety Spectacles
Safety spectacles with side shields are used as primary protection to shield the eyes from heat hazards.
To adequately protect the eyes and face from high temperature exposure, use safety spectacles in combination with a heat-reflective face shield.
![Page 22: Safety eye wear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5876ab071a28abd6508b789f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Heat Hazards: Safety Goggles
Safety goggles are used as primary protection to shield the eyes from heat hazards. Goggles form a protective seal around the eyes, preventing objects or liquids from entering under or around the goggles. This is especially important when working with or around molten metals that may splash.
![Page 23: Safety eye wear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5876ab071a28abd6508b789f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Heat Hazards: Face Shields
Heat-reflective and wire-screen face shields are intended to shield the entire face from a range of heat hazards.
Face shields are considered secondary protectors to be used in addition to primary protection such as safety spectacles or goggles.
![Page 24: Safety eye wear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5876ab071a28abd6508b789f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Chemical Hazards: Safety Goggles
Safety goggles protect the eyes, eye sockets, and the facial area immediately surrounding the eyes from a variety of chemical hazards. Goggles form a protective seal around the eyes, preventing objects or liquids from entering under or around the goggles.
![Page 25: Safety eye wear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5876ab071a28abd6508b789f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Chemical Hazards: Face Shields
Face shields are intended to protect the entire face from a variety of chemical hazards.
All face shields are considered secondary protection and must be used in addition to safety goggles to provide adequate protection.
![Page 26: Safety eye wear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5876ab071a28abd6508b789f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Dust Hazards: Safety Goggles
Goggles form a protective seal around the eyes, preventing nuisance dust from entering under or around the goggles. Ventilation should be adequate, but well protected from dust entry.

Optical Radiation: Filter Lenses Wearing protection with the
correct filter shade number is required to protect workers’ eyes from optical radiation. When selecting PPE, consider the type and degree of radiant energy in the workplace.
![Page 28: Safety eye wear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5876ab071a28abd6508b789f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Optical Radiation: Welding
Welding helmets are secondary protectors intended to shield the eyes and face from optical radiation, heat, and impact. Use welding helmets in
addition to primary protection such as safety spectacles or goggles to provide adequate protection.

Tips to protect your eyes Wear goggles or a face shield
around flying chips or particles, electrical arcing or sparks, chemical gases or vapors, harmful light liquid chemicals, acids, or caustics, molten metal, dusts, or swinging objects like ropes or chains
Turn containers away from the face when opening
Remove protective eye wear only after turning off the tool
Outdated or scratched prescription lenses can distort vision
Replace cracked, pitted or damaged goggles or glasses
Concentrate on task at hand when using power tools
Stop and relax the eyes if they are becoming strained
Be certain that protective eye wear is approved for the hazardous environment you are in
Keep sharp or pointed objects away from the face and eyes

What to do in case of an eye injury If you get dust, a wood chip or another small particle in your eye, look down and flush it out with eyewash solution. Use water if eyewash solution is not available
If a pesticide gets into your eyes, immediately use a portable eye flush dispenser or call for help if needed to get to an eyewash station
Flush your eye with eyewash solution for 15 minutes. Have someone call for medical attention while you are flushing
The Material Safety Data sheet and label will give first aid instructions
