Hands, head and feet are of course open to injuries in various environments. The eyes are at risk in certain environments. Grinding, cutting, drilling and welding are a few processes in fabrication workshops that can produce flying shards of metal. It is possible for such shards to enter the eyes and cause irreparable damage. There are other industrial areas where workers are exposed to risk of damage to eyes. Chemical processing units are where employees can be exposed to corrosive chemicals that can cause irreparable damage to eyes.
Chemicals may splash and some drops can land in the eyes. Vapors of some chemicals are harmful and can get into the eyes. Where employees are engaged in gas welding it is possible that hot and molten metal may splatter and fly into the eyes. In sandblasting, painting and coating applications it is possible for sand to get into the eyes. All these are scenarios in which prevention is always better than cure. Use of Stylish Safety Wear (Saviour EY 601 Safety Eyewear) is recommended as the best protection for eyes against flying particles, mist, fog, vapor or liquids.
Despite knowing the hazards of their work and the possible injury to eyes most workers do not like to wear safety eyewear. One reason is that it can be uncomfortable due to its construction and the eyewear can also obstruct the view. Another reason why they may not wear eye protection is that the device looks unseemly and workers these days like to look stylish. Yet another reason is that the protective gear for eyes may be heavy and one cannot wear it all day long or for hours at a stretch. The solution is lightweight, stylish and smart looking Saviour I-1002 Safety Eyewear Clear (Stylish Safety Eyewear). Stylish eyewear for industrial use is made of thick polycarbonate with suitable fog and mist resistant as well as scratch resistant coatings.
Polycarbonate is ideal since it is shatte resistant unlike glass and resists impact very well. The polycarbonate eyepiece is held in place by a contoured plastic frame that fits snugly around the head. Both stylish and comfortable, this protective eyewear, if offered to workers, will be easily adopted. Safety of eyes should be of paramount importance and employers should insist that workers engaged in hazardous tasks where eyes are at risk must wear these polycarbonate safety eyewear. Workers may not go out and buy it but they are so affordable an employer can easily afford to buy several dozen from suresafety.com and keep in stock for use by employees.
It should be kept in mind that safety eyewear made of polycarbonate offer a simple, first line of defense against liquids and flying particles and are not meant for wear by electric arc welding machine operators, laser operators or those working in environments where corrosive gases are present.
