Eye                                Some Things To Know Before You Give Your Talk.
Protection -                       Can't get your crew to wear their eye protection?
Flying
Particles                          Tell them the story of the one-eyed carpenter.
                                   A carpenter asked his insurance company to pay for the damage
No. 2                              done to his glass eye which was broken when a nail he had been
                                   driving flew up and struck it. When he was asked how he lost the
                                   eye in the first place he replied, "Oh, the same way, a flying nail."
                                   A dark world awaits this carpenter if the next nail hits his other eye
    How This Talk
    Applies To My
                                   before he decides to use safety glasses.
        Crew:
                                   It may be difficult getting used to eye protection, but have you tried
                                   getting used to a glass eye?
                                   There are two kinds of foreign particles that can get in your eyes
                                   on job sites.
                                   The first type is wind-carried material like:

                                       •    sawdust

                                       •    dirt

                                       •    rust, etc.
                                   Although a bother, these aren't as serious as the other type:
                                   namely high-speed chips that go flying when a hard material
                                   contacts another hard material. Some examples include:

                                       •    A jackhammer breaking rock or concrete

                                       •    Drilling, scaling, or reaming steel

                                       •    Cutting masonry products with a powered saw

                                       •    Demolishing walls or ceilings

                                       •    Striking a chisel or punch with a hammer

                                       •    Using a powder actuated gun into steel or concrete

                                       •    Cutting with a portable circular saw

And don’t forget working with molten materials:

         •    Soldering

         •    Socketing wire rope end connections
    Eye Protection Can Be:

         •    safety glasses

         •    safety goggles

         •    face sheilds

         •    prescription glasses with safety lenses
    Each has a different use depending on whatever conditions exist for your particular job
    site. It is very important to make sure that your eye wear fits correctly. Remember that
    proper ventilation and sprays can help reduce fogging.
    Eye Protection Tips:

         •    To prevent scratching the lens, take care when setting your eye protection down
              or putting them away for the day.

         •    Replace the lens or get new glasses when scratches on the lens become
              noticeable

         •    Clean eye protection regularly at the eye protection cleaning station, if available.
              Or use water and a soft absorbent towel such as a paper towel. Don’t use your
              shirt or a rag that collects and holds dirt, it will scratch the lens.
    Try This For Show And Tell!
    Find a few old pairs of goggles (different kinds) that have nicks and scratches on them.
    Point the marks out to the crew telling them that those are the places where debris
    would have gotten into their eyes if they hadn't been wearing eye protection.
    Questions You Can Use To Get Them Talking:

         •    What kind of jobs need eye protection?

         •    Where can you get eye protection?

         •    Has anyone heard of a serious accident involving someone who wasn't wearing
              eye protection?

  • 1. Construction Safety Talks Eye Some Things To Know Before You Give Your Talk. Protection - Can't get your crew to wear their eye protection? Flying Particles Tell them the story of the one-eyed carpenter. A carpenter asked his insurance company to pay for the damage No. 2 done to his glass eye which was broken when a nail he had been driving flew up and struck it.
