Prevention of work related injuries: a look at eye protection use and suggested prevention strategies.
Eye injuries account for 6% of all national injuries, with 60% of those injured professing to not having worn any eye protection. Most injuries (70%) are from flying objects that come around the front of a flat "eyeglass type" personal protective device. Blindness prevention include educating managers and employees, and purchasing and distributing effective eye wear protection.
