Eye protection. The importance of wearing safety glasses

min read

Eye Protection

In the industrial sector, eye injuries are common, caused by splashes of chemical materials and/or metal or plastic burrs that get into the eyes. However, this can be prevented using proper eye protection equipment such as safety glasses, which help considerably reduce the risk of a severe accident.


What are Safety Glasses?


Safety glasses, also known as safety goggles, are part of the personal equipment that every industrial worker must wear. They are designed to keep the eyes and eyelids safe from the corrosive action of some substances or prevent the entry of solid material residues.

 

These  glasses are made of lightweight materials that allow the worker to perform all activities without hindering vision or maneuverability. They are lightweight, portable, and compact; they provide good coverage of the eye area and withstand high temperatures and heavy industrial environments.

 

Types of safety glasses


Different types can be differentiated according to their classification. Here are the most common ones: 

 

  • By type of risk: It is the most popular classification. There are glasses for protection against mechanical, biological, thermal, electrical, etc. risks.
  • By type of design: It refers to the physical characteristics with which they are made. The most common are glasses with temples, mask type, and mask type.
  • By type of material: They can be fiberglass, mica, resistant glass, or plastic.
  • Eye Protection

    OSHA Regulations


    OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Labor that, as its name suggests, has the mission to protect the health and safety of workers.

     

    It is responsible for establishing standards of protection that apply to both employers and workers through technical assistance and specialized advisory programs. OSHA has international recognition thanks to the authority it sets within this sector to prevent hazards in the workplace.
