When in the Folding, Jet Press, and Shipping areas at Colortree, or in the press area at GI, you must use hearing protection. Failure to do so is a safety violation!

Objects striking the eye Flying debris can shoot into the eye. Contact with chemicals/other hazards This is not always direct contact, but also contact with fumes. Being struck with large/falling objects An unexpected falling object can strike the eye. Viewing radiant energy sources Lasers will damage the eye if viewed directly.

Safety glasses are made from shatter- resistant material to protect the eye. Even if you wear glasses, you still need more protection – there is safety eyewear designed to fit over normal glasses. Eye damage is often permanent – protect yourself!

At Colortree/GI, we use protective eyewear when dealing with chemicals or blowing off equipment. If you get chemicals in your eye, look for an eyewash station – they are located in hazard areas.
