The Several Benefits Of Safety Glasses

By Annabelle Holman


Every type of work requires processes that can prove to be harmful. Safety glasses are important, whether you are working on a construction site or in the office. What this means is that at all cost, some kind of protection is needed so that at the end of the day you can go home and not rush to the hospital.

The use of protective glasses could have saved thousand of people from experiencing eye injuries. These glasses were developed to protect and protect the worker from harmful incidents. Workers who come into contact with different types of airborne particles in their workplace should always take this safety measure.

These particles can be sawdust at the mill, bits of metal at a construction site, sparks from welding and corrosive chemicals during a task at the lab and the list goes on. There are even cases of accidents caused by flying objects. So if next time you ask your colleague to throw something to you, make sure you have your glasses on just in case.

Small particles of cement or dust can result in scratched lenses, punctures in the eyes, corneal erosion (deterioration of the outer layer of the eye) and so on. All of these can lead to temporary or permanent sight loss. Working in a lab means close interaction with different hazardous chemicals and it only takes one bad move to say goodbye to your vision.

Approximately 20% of eye related accidents result in vision lost. If you are lucky it will be only temporary, but if not you won't be able to see ever again. So wear the protective equipment. Additionally, always make sure you are wearing the right gear for the right task, many times, the wrong personal protective equipment cause the accidents.

When somebody accepts a job, he/she knows about the implied risks he/she is taking on. This is particularly so if the worker comes with years of experience. This doesn't mean you can take it lightly thinking "I always do my job correctly and safely", so why now. This won't make you immune to mistakes made by colleagues.

Nowadays there is literally no office existing without at least an individual spending long hours behind the computer. Since their introduction the negative effects of it were debated and still are. One of the focal points of the debate is the long term ramification of staring at screen for longer hours. This is why many people choose to wear glasses that use a special filter to reduce the light intensity.

Then there are special protective spectacles for highly dangerous jobs, like welding. In these cases the glasses are incorporated in a full shield to minimize the risks of accidents. In addition, if you are also using prescription ones in your daily life, special protective glass can be made that incorporate both lenses.

As you can see, a spectacle with extra safety features has a wide range of applicability and this was just the tip of the iceberg. There are several more ways and even more jobs, where these glasses can prevent serious accidents from happening both saving you and the quality of life you are leading. It is better to be safe than sorry.
