Thousands of employees are blinded and countless lives transformed each year as a result of work-related eye injuries that could have been prevented. Eye injuries are not just tragic; they’re expensive to the tune of more than $300 million each year in lost production time, medical expenses, and workers’ compensation costs.
This Compliance Report offers a bird’s-eye view of compliance and best practices, including a review of current OSHA and consensus standards, innovations in eye and face protection, and a physician’s views on injury prevention. It’s a good time to share this information, as March is Workplace Eye Health and Safety Month.
