Industrial/Chemical Work: Protecting your eyes from accidents and injury

"Industrial or chemical work

Industrial work presents obvious dangers for the eye. There is a particular danger for people operating any kind of pressing or grinding equipment.

Wearing goggles for eye protection

  • Wear the correct eye protection - your employer should provide the correct protection for you and for each job you may have to perform.
  • Welding should always be undertaken using a welding mask. The bright light of a welding torch can cause permanent damage to the cornea and the retina.
  • All chemicals should be handled with care following manufacturers or site specific instructions.
  • People that are watching you work in industrial environments should also wear eye protection as if they are doing the task."
