Everyone is exposed to radiation every day and sources of radiation often surround us. Some are natural and some are man-made, but we can’t see or feel radiation’s presence.
Potential eye hazards against which protection is needed in the workplace are: Projectiles (dust, concrete, metal, wood and other particles); Chemicals (splashes and fumes); Radiation (especially visible light, ultraviolet radiation, heat or infrared radiation, and lasers); Bloodborne pathogens (hepatitis or HIV) from blood and body fluids.
