Eye injuries occur at a rate of about 2000 per day, with 10-20% resulting in temporary or permanent vision loss. Common causes of eye injuries include flying debris, chemicals, and improper tool use. Different types of eye protection include safety glasses, goggles, and face shields, with the appropriate type depending on the job hazards. Jobs with high eye injury risks include auto repair, healthcare, manufacturing, and welding, and the proper protective eyewear can prevent injuries for each job. Employers are responsible for assessing eye hazards and ensuring employees have appropriate protection.
HSE-BMS-041 Eye and Face Protection.PPT
Thousands of people are blinded each year from work-related eye injuries. Nearly three out of five workers are injured while failing to wear eye and face protection. Employers must provide eye and face protection equipment to employees when hazards are present and ensure they receive proper training in the selection, use, and care of protective equipment. Protective eyewear such as safety glasses, goggles, and face shields help shield workers from impact, heat, chemical, dust, and optical radiation hazards.

Line of fire safety
A short safety awareness session focussing on how to identify and prevent line of fire hazards and risks.
Alcohol and drug safety awareness
Drug and alcohol use pose significant health risks and social consequences. Worldwide in 2010, the average alcohol consumption was 6.2 liters per person over 15, which equals 13.5 grams of pure alcohol daily. That year, alcohol was attributable to around 3.3 million deaths globally or 5.9% of all deaths. Approximately 230 million people worldwide have used illicit drugs, with 15.3 million having drug use disorders. Drug use can negatively impact work performance through withdrawal symptoms, preoccupation with obtaining drugs, and illegal activities like drug sales to coworkers.
Monthly Environmental Inspection
This document outlines the requirements for a monthly environmental inspection at a construction site. It lists 12 compliance issues that are to be checked, including appointing contractors, safety training, personal protective equipment, health and safety, excavation and backfilling, dust control, water management, noise, storage and handling of hazardous substances, and waste management. For each compliance issue, the inspector notes whether the activity is acceptable or not, and includes evidence and details any responsible persons and completion dates for corrective actions. The goal of the inspection is to ensure all construction activities comply with environmental regulations and best practices.
Hand Tool Snapshots
This document provides safety guidance for using various hand tools, including hammers, sledgehammers, pickaxes, rakes, shovels, and hand saws. For each tool, it highlights potential hazards and recommends proper techniques to mitigate risks, such as inspecting tools for defects, using appropriate personal protective equipment, maintaining control of tools, and avoiding ergonomic stresses. The introduction notes some general safety measures that apply to all hand tools, like using task-specific PPE, proper storage, training, and pre-use inspections.
HSE HIRA Triggers
The document discusses Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) Trigger Boards used to improve the quality of Daily Safety Task Instructions (DSTIs) by prompting workers to consider potential hazards. The trigger boards listed common hazards to help engage workers in actively identifying hazards in their tasks rather than just recording instructions. Their use on one project led to clear improvements in the thoroughness of DSTI documentation. The boards provided can be adapted to different work activities.
Road Travel Safety
This document provides tips for safe road travel during the holiday season. It emphasizes the importance of planning and preparing your vehicle. You should conduct regular safety checks, understand how to respond to warning lights or signals, and know how to call for assistance if needed. In addition to ensuring your vehicle is roadworthy, you need to be well-rested, plan your route, avoid distractions, and pack an emergency kit. Proper preparation and awareness can help enhance safety and prevent problems when traveling on the road.
Managing Fatigue
Fatigue can be caused by work-related factors like long shifts, work demands, and environments, as well as outside factors like sleep loss, travel, and lifestyle. The effects of fatigue include slower reactions, forgetfulness, absent-mindedness, and lack of attention. Long-term fatigue can reduce coordination and lead to underestimating risks. Fatigue must be managed by employers and employees to prevent accidents and ensure workers are fit for duty.
Working at Hieght - Scaffold and Grating Platforms
Scaffold and grating platforms used for working at heights must have steel hook-on boards or grating tied down securely. Each platform requires toe-boards, guardrails, and safe access via ladder or staircase. Gaps are not allowed, and any removed grating requires a permit and barricades below. Working safely requires all tools tethered, platforms kept clear, work areas demarcated below, and no work during hazardous weather.
Working at Height - Safety Harness Inspection
Safety harnesses and lanyards limit falls but do not eliminate them, and are not a substitute for effective fall protection measures like guardrails on working platforms. Users must do pre-use inspections of harnesses and lanyards to identify any issues like cuts, breaks, or damage that could compromise safety. Special attention should be paid to webbing, buckles, D-rings, snap hooks, and any areas subjected to abrasion, chemicals, or heat when inspecting for signs of wear or potential failure.
Scaffold Inspections
Scaffold users have responsibilities to check scaffolds before use, as inspections are done by competent persons appointed by the erection company. Scaffolds must be inspected weekly, after erection or dismantling, after alterations, incidents, or inclement weather. Inspection tags provide information on the scaffold dimensions and components, erection team, and inspector, and must be displayed at access points with red "Do Not Use" tags for scaffolds requiring inspection.
Correct Glove for the Task
This toolbox talk discusses the importance of using the correct type of glove for different construction tasks to prevent hand injuries. It provides examples of the types of gloves used for welding, working with chemicals, general construction work, and electrical work. The key message is that the glove chosen should match the risks identified in the task risk assessment in order to protect hands from burns, chemicals, sharp objects, and other hazards.
Emergency Preparedness
This document discusses emergency preparedness and provides guidance on developing an emergency plan. It outlines key aspects to consider like having an emergency plot plan showing escape routes and assembly points. Emergency equipment needs to be available and inspected regularly. The document assigns emergency roles and responsibilities to employees, supervisors, emergency controllers and a safety officer. It stresses the importance of regular emergency drills to test effectiveness and identify areas for improvement. Drills should be treated as real emergencies and followed by a debriefing session and report.
Welding
Welding is a common method of joining metals that involves fusing two pieces together. It carries several hazards including impact, penetration, harmful fumes and heat/light radiation. Welding is considered high risk, especially in operating plants, but risks can be reduced through various defenses including training, barriers, permits, communication, assessments, PPE, supervision and emergency preparedness. Proper PPE like welding helmets, gloves, aprons and leg covers are required to prevent burns from hot metal and radiation. Spark containment and protecting others is also important for safety.

Eye protection
- 1. Eye Protection on Construction Sites Compiled by Rudi Nieuwoudt
- 2. WHAT CAUSES EYE INJURIES? Of all the eye injuries that have been sustained on construction sites, the following have been identified as the 2 main causes: 1. Not wearing eye protection. 2. Wearing the wrong type of eye protection
- 3. WHY DO WE NEEDTO WEAR EYE PROTECTION? In our daily task we are all exposed to hazards that have the potential to cause eye injuries. Dust, grinding sparks, protruding wires, chemicals etc. To protect ourselves we have to wear eye protection and more importantly, we have to wear the correct eye protection! Take a look at the following pictures.....
- 4. WHY DO WE NEEDTO WEAR EYE PROTECTION? This injury was caused by a grinding spark. This injury was caused by a wire brush. Again....wire brush. While he was cleaning shutters. What do all these injuries have in common? THEY DID NOTWEAR EYE PROTECTION!!
- 5. WHATTYPE SHOULD I WEAR? Grinding , Cutting or cleaning shutters or welding seams with a wire brush? If you are working in very dusty conditions, or if you are working with a material which gives of a lot of particles. Normal day to day work on site? Both face shield and safety glasses (Double eye protection!) Goggles Safety Glasses
- 6. Clean your safety glasses daily. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid rough handling that can scratch lenses. Scratches impair vision and can weaken lenses. Store your safety glasses in a clean, dry place where they cannot fall or be stepped on. Replace scratched, broken, bent or ill-fitting glasses. Damaged glasses interfere with vision and do not provide protection. Inspection of your safety glasses is required to make sure that they are not dirty, dusty or broken. Unclean or scratched eye wear can lead to eye strain and headaches. Any time your safety glasses are scratched or broken, they should be replaced with a new pair. HOWTO CARE FORYOUR EYE PROTECTION
- 7. FOUR STEPSTO PROTECTING WORKERS EYES 1. Know the hazards that could lead to eye injuries at your place of employment. 2. Eliminate those hazards before starting work by using machine guards, work screens or other engineering controls. 3. Use appropriate eye protection for the task at hand 4. Keep your eye protection in good condition and replace it if it becomes damaged.
- 8. REMEMBER You only have one pair of eyes... There are no replacements...
