Construction
Construction
Construction sites present significant challenges to eye and vision safety. Activities such as excavation, framing structures, pouring concrete, and raising steel pose pervasive threats to workers’ eyesight. Implementing appropriate eye protection and safety measures is crucial to mitigate these risks in the construction industry
Flying Debris
Sawdust, metal shavings, concrete dust, and other particles can be propelled at high speeds during cutting, grinding, and demolition activities order to beat the possible harms of the industry.
Chemical Splashes
Corrosive chemicals used for cleaning, stripping, or finishing materials can cause severe eye burns
Welding and Soldering
Intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation from welding arcs and soldering irons can damage the cornea and retina.
Bright Lights
Glare from sunlight or artificial lighting can cause temporary vision loss and eye strain
Dust and Fumes
Prolonged exposure to airborne particles can irritate the eyes and lead to eye infections.
Impact Injuries:
Objects falling from heights, swinging tools, or collisions with equipment can cause serious eye injuries.
The construction industry poses significant risks for eye injuries, many of which could be prevented with appropriate safety eyewear, whether non-prescription (Plano) or prescription. Common construction activities, such as using wood or metal saws, often result in wood chips or metal fragments being dispersed. Additionally, carrying boards or other materials on the shoulder can position them at eye level, posing a hazard to nearby workers. Furthermore, tasks like nailing or bolting are frequently performed with minimal attention to safety.
Implementing a safety eyewear program that supplies clear or prescription safety glasses to workers can significantly reduce injury rates and enhance productivity. Our safety eyewear experts are available to assist in designing a program tailored to the specific needs of your construction industry employees..
