Toolbox Talks
Subject: Eye Protection

The protection of your sight requires three extremes: extremely easy, extremely
important, and too often, extremely forgotten. Once you have lost an eye or your ability
to see, its too late. Protecting your eyes is the easiest thing to do, if you care about your
eyes.

Guide for Discussion


Types of Eye Injuries
Small flying objects such as dust or other microscopic objects.
Particles resulting from chipping, grinding, sawing, brushing, hammering or using
power tools (including nail guns).
Liquids such as chemicals, tar, asphalt solvents, paints or masonry cleaning
solutions.
Invisible light rays such as those generated by welding operations or by a laser
beam.

Safety glasses
Safety goggles
Face shields with safety glasses
