Eye and Face Protection - General |
||||||
|
Individuals who often fail to wear proper eye protection are most likely to
injure their eyes. When chemicals or other substances enter the eyes, immediate attention must focus on preventing further damage. First-aid instructions should be posted close to potential danger spots since any delay to immediate aid or an early mistake in dealing with an eye injury can result in lasting damage. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) specifically requires flushing facilities for the eyes when the eyes may be exposed to hazardous materials, and the National Society to Prevent Blindness recommends that emergency eyewashes be placed in all hazardous locations. |
