Protecting your sight

Eye safety refers to practices and equipment that protect the eyes from injury or damage.

It encompasses protective eyewear like goggles and face shields, safe handling of hazardous materials, and awareness of risks from bright lights, flying debris, or chemicals.

Always wear eye safety glasses when operating power tools.

Workplace regulations often mandate specific eye safety standards.
