Eye Protection Training on the use of eye protection in the workplace Developed by the Division of Occupational Safety & Health (DOSH) for employee training May, 2009

Eye Protection The following topics will be covered: Workplace eye hazards Types of eye protection Use and care of eye protection 2

Your Eyes What can be more precious than your sight? What if you could no longer see this? 3

Types of Eye Hazards Flying objects Particles and dust Harmful light radiation – ultraviolet, infrared or lasers Chemicals 4

Eye Infection Hazards 4-a Infectious agents may enter the body through the eyes, nose and mouth. The use of eye and face protection is required in the healthcare industry during procedures that may generate body fluid splashes or sprays. Eye protection may also be needed to protect against exposure to infectious agents in sewage treatment, composting activities, and during application of biosolids.

Sources of Eye Hazards Flying objects or particles in eye Grinding Sanding Nail gun use Sandblasting Woodworking Blowdown 5

Sources of Eye Hazards Chemical Hazards The most dangerous chemicals to the eyes are corrosive liquids. Examples include acids, lye, bleach, ammonia, sodium hydroxide and formaldehyde. Other chemicals can also be extremely irritating to the eyes. Some chemicals (pesticides, for example) can be absorbed through the eyes and make you sick. 7

Sources of Eye Hazards Harmful light radiation Ultraviolet from welding Infrared from molten metal Laser 8

Welding Helmet Lenses For all types of electric arc welding, a welding helmet equipped with the correct shade filter is required. Many welders are now using auto-darkening welding helmets. 9

Types of Eye Protection Safety glasses goggles Face shields Three Main Types 10

Laser Eyewear Laser protective glasses are chosen to match the type of laser used. 11

Safety Glasses Side shields or wraparound required Must meet ANSI Z87.1 Standards for impact resistance Must be comfortable if worn for long periods 12

Goggles Goggles are required if handling corrosive liquids. Also provide protection against irritating gases and vapors. Must be impact-resistant if used for flying object protection. Some are vented or coated to prevent fogging. Vents 13

Face-shields When are they needed? Face-shields are necessary when a splash to the face might occur. Worn over glasses or goggles for extra protection. Special shields are available for infrared or ultraviolet light. 14

Care & Maintenance Replace if broken, cracked or if material on the lens or face- shield can’t be removed. Inspect for damage daily. Clean as needed. 16

Other Protection For Eye Hazards Guards, shields or screens on machines, Welding curtains or barriers, Other barriers during grinding, cutting, sanding, Ventilation or hoods for handling chemicals. In addition to personal eye protection, the following can be used: 17

Emergency Eyewashes An eyewash station is required for potential eye exposure to: corrosives – acids, caustics strong irritants – many solvents and other chemicals toxic chemicals – pesticides and other chemicals 18
