An employee who learned the importance of wearing safety glasses at work, encouraged his eighteen-year-old son, who works in construction installing siding on houses, to wear safety glasses. His son was resistant and stated that he didn't need them; he felt that he wasn’t going to get hurt. Later the son got aluminum dust in his eyes while cutting gutter material. The employee told his son that he really needed to wear safety glasses and that they would keep dust out of his eyes. His son finally relented and started wearing the glasses. A week or so later, the son was applying siding with an air powered staple gun. When he fired the gun, a staple hit a metal plate behind the siding, ricocheted back towards his face, and one leg of the staple penetrated the safety glasses’ lens. The staple hit with such force that the frames were cracked and the son received bruising on the eyebrow and cheekbone from the impact. The safety glasses definitely saved his eyesight and possibly his life!
