Learn essential eye injury prevention techniques.
Eye injuries happen in workplaces every day, and many send workers to the emergency room. Even a small particle causes immediate pain, and serious cases can lead to lost work time, lasting vision damage or loss of an eye. This course is for any employee who works around chemicals, tools or airborne debris, and for the supervisors who set their protection rules. The program explains how eye injuries occur, from scrapes and impacts by flying or falling objects to chemical and heat burns. It points to higher-risk tasks such as grinding, welding, chemical handling and work near intense light sources. It also notes that common cleaning products are labeled eye irritants, so hazards exist well beyond construction and manufacturing. Viewers see how to choose and wear eye protection and get practical tips for preventing injuries and responding when one occurs. The video runs about 13 minutes in English and supports the eye and face protection requirements in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133.
Eye injury prevention training is for workers exposed to flying particles, chemicals, dust, intense light or splashing liquids. That includes construction crews, welders, chemical manufacturing staff, machine operators, maintenance technicians and custodial workers using cleaning products. The 13-minute English video also offers Spanish and French closed captions.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 requires employers to provide eye and face protection against workplace eye hazards. These include flying particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals, chemical gases or vapors, and harmful light radiation. Protectors must meet ANSI/ISEA Z87.1. Construction work follows a parallel eye protection rule at 29 CFR 1926.102.
Most workplace eye injuries come from small particles such as metal slivers, wood chips and dust striking or scraping the eye. Chemical splashes, objects thrown by power tools, and burns from welding light or heat are other leading causes. Many happen when workers skip eye protection or wear the wrong type.
If a chemical splashes in your eye, flush it immediately at an eyewash station or under clean running water. Keep flushing for at least 15 minutes while holding the eyelids open. Remove contact lenses if you can. Get medical attention right away and bring the product's Safety Data Sheet.
Safety glasses are not enough protection from chemical splashes, because liquid can run around the frames. Chemical splash goggles seal against the face. A face shield worn over goggles adds protection for high-volume or high-pressure work. Match the eye protection to the hazards listed on the Safety Data Sheet.
