March is Workplace Eye Wellness Month

The National Safety Council (NSC) has declared the month of March as Workplace Eye Wellness Month.

 

Why is this important?

 

It is estimated that over 2000 eye injuries occur each day with 1 in 10 resulting in lost work days. Of these injuries up to 20% will cause temporary or permanent eye damage.

 

According to the Prevent Blindness America (PBA) Organization 90% of all eye injuries are preventable.

 

This is the time to re-evaluate your eye safety policies. Using the correct safety eyewear can lessen or completely prevent most eye injuries.
