Eye injuries can range from small particles causing abrasions to blunt-force trauma, chemical burns and thermal burns (to name a few). Not only can these injuries cause an employee to miss work for several days they can create life-altering consequences such as loss of vision.
OSHA requires employers to provide any necessary personal protective equipment for eye safety.
