Eye Protection: Essential Mining Safety Equipment
Anyone who has spent time in or around a mine knows that safety equipment is paramount to making it home in one piece. Of all the safety equipment out there, eye protection is one of the most important. Eye injuries could lead to infection, impaired vision, or even total loss of sight. Without your sight you lose your livelihood, so why take chances with inferior eye protection?
Eye Hazards in a Mining or Industrial Environment
In an environment like a mine, or even a production facility, there are hazards everywhere. Even when you may not be at mortal harm there are chances for even minor incidents to turn major, and compromise your eyesight.
Depending on the function your perform and where you are on the worksite, you could be at risk of any of these hazards on a day to day basis;
- Flying objects that could lead to direct impact trauma from debris, rock, sand, and other particles. This is most common in areas where there are chipping or cutting activities like chiseling, grinding, drilling, and sawing.
- Harsh light from glare, welding torches, lasers etc.
- Dangerous heat either from subterranean conditions, or chemicals, power tools, and machinery.
