EYE AND FACE PROTECTION NEWS

800,000 Eye Injuries Occur Annually, 90% are Preventable Every year, 800,000 eye injuries occur on the job, including 36,000 that require time off from work. But according to eye health and safety organization Prevent Blindness America, wearing proper eye protection can prevent 90 percent of all eye injuries.
NIOSH: Supplemental Rest Breaks Minimize Eye Strain For Data Entry Workers A new study by a team of scientists from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) finds that workers who are allowed several short breaks during the day suffer less from the side effects of eyestrain than workers who are allowed standard breaks twice per day. The researchers were following up and expanding on previous research conducted in 2000, which demonstrate that frequent rest breaks minimize eye strain and discomfort among data-entry employees without negatively affecting their productivity.
Chamber of Commerce: Don't Micromanage OSHA The Chamber of Commerce submitted a letter urging House leaders to support future amendments of the House FY 2008 Labor, Health and Human Services and Education appropriations bill that if offered, would block current provisions that compel OSHA to issue a variety of regulations and standards.
