Eye and face protection

Posting Date(s)

Eye and face protection is vitally important in workspaces that may pose risk of injury or harmful exposure to a worker鈥檚 eyes or face such as 

  • flying objects, particles, and dust (e.g., grinding, cutting, hammering, sawing)
  • splashes (including droplets and sprays) from chemicals and biological material
  • radiation (e.g., welding) and lasers
  • abrasive and molten material

The details of eye and face protection can be found on the site including a 91探花 Eye and Face Protection Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Each supervisor will be responsible for including eye and face protection in all applicable site-specific SOPs.
