    PPE and Close Calls

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Optikal's Pic Raymond (a photographer) shared this post and picture with us. (Thank you!)

    “Today I’m glad I had my safety glasses on. The group decided to clean up the lab so we organized, swept and mopped the garage. I was refilling the water/cleaning solution and a good few drops splashed up right on the lens of my glasses. Close call, because we use this industrial strength cleaner and degreaser which probably would have done some serious ocular damage.”

    Close call stories are a good reminder on why we need to use preventative measures at work and at home. I’ve waded through many photos of eye injuries -they all look painful. There really is no excuse for not wearing eye protection – stylish, bifocals, anti-fog, over-specs, inexpensive, padded,  shaded, small, melon-head size, etc.. there really is something for everyone.
