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 for the task
you are performing.

WHY DO WE NEED TO 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!
Choosing the correct safety glasses can be a daunting task as there are so many
different types of eye safety wear on the market. The most effective way in ensuring
that you have the correct safety glasses is to go back to your risk assessment and
determine what hazards you will be exposed to.

WHY DO WE NEED TO 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 NOT WEAR EYE PROTECTION!!
www.ruansa.co.zaCopyright 2017 ©
WHAT TYPE 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.

 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.
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR EYE PROTECTION
www.ruansa.co.zaCopyright 2017 ©
FOUR STEPS TO 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.

You only have one pair of eyes...
