Seeing Eye to Eye with PPE and Workplace Eye Wellness Month

        According to the National Safety Council, March is Workplace Eye Wellness Month. Prevent Blindness America, the nation's leading volunteer eye health and safety organization, states that more than 2,000 people injure their eyes at work each day. About 1 in 10 injuries require one or more missed workdays to recover from. Of the total amount of work-related injuries, 10-20% will cause temporary or permanent vision loss.

        The eye is the one of the most easily damaged parts of the body, yet 78 percent of eye injuries are due to a lack of protective eye wear. To show how strongly SafetySkills™ feels about this specific type of injury, we are featuring our Personal Protective Equipment course at http://www.safetyskills.com/personal-protective-equiptment/occupational-health-and-safety/personal-protective-equipment.

        “It is much easier to prevent an eye injury rather than healing from one,” said Trey Greene, CEO of noodleStream.com. “Our SafetySkills™ Personal Protective Equipment course is a quick and informative way to ensure the safety of your workers.”
