Free guide to safety eyewear
January 6th 2011

Specsavers Corporate Eyecare is offering a free guide to safety eyewear. The publication includes recent research into employers’ understanding of the regulations and addresses common misinterpretations. The guide has been written for health and safety managers who need to understand the intricacies of selecting the correct safety eyewear for staff. It details legislation, levels of protection and procurement options.

Also explained are the wider-reaching positive implications of a full eye examination due to the numerous illnesses and medical conditions that can be detected and monitored using the very latest eyecare technology.

The eyes and eyesight are particularly vulnerable to hazards in the workplace. While there are set regulations in place, each different working environment presents its own unique risks and requirements. When developing an eyecare policy and purchasing the necessary eye protection, health and safety managers have a great many factors to consider. The provision of effective safety eyewear is not only about meeting the essential standards but also the needs of the individual. The guide includes several current case studies to illustrate the information and put the theory into practice.
