Each day 2000 U.S. workers experience a job related eye injury. About one third are serious enough to require a hospital visit. 100 of those works will loose one or more days of work. The majority of these eye injuries are small objects striking or abrading the eye. Objects include metal slivers, wood ships and dust ejected from power tools. Other items include nails, staples and large slivers of metal and wood that penetrate the eye and cause permanent vision loss.
With numbers like these, it’s clear that simply wearing your safety eye wear is the best way to prevent being another OSHA statistic.
