Eye protection is one of the most impactful yet often overlooked PPE in workplaces from construction zones to manufacturing floors. Every day in the U.S. about 2,000 workers sustain a job-related eye injury that requires medical treatment. Nearly 90% of these injuries can be prevented with the right protective eyewear.
Traditional eye protection can fall short and isn't always enough for a particular work environment. Some issues that traditional eye protection can have are:
- Poor helmet integration: Visors that don't integrate seamlessly can feel bulky making it more likely to not be worn on the job site
- All-day comfort challenges: Eye protection that becomes uncomfortable over long periods of time get worn incorrectly or removed altogether putting your crew at a greater risk
- Prescription glasses compatibility issue: Crews can struggle with certain visors not being able to fit comfortably if wearing prescription glasses, which can interfere with vision or cause them to to fog during a job
When eye protection is uncomfortable and starts to be seen as a hassle, compliance drops. Workers will then start to overall skip out on eye protection and that's when eye injuries occur. Eye protection that can feel like a hassle can quickly become eye protection that doesn't get worn. Safety gear that is easy to use, comfortable, and proven to protect is how to reduce injuries and protect your team for the long haul.
