Four occupations in which wearing safety glasses is mandatory

When you come into contact with harmful substances or materials that can give off splinters while doing your job, there can be major consequences for your eyes. The risk of permanent eye injury is increased when insufficient safety precautions are taken. Thus, wearing safety glasses is very important and an indispensable personal protective equipment (PPE).

In this article, we will tell you more about four occupations where wearing safety glasses is mandatory.

Welder

Welders need extra protection in addition to wearing safety glasses. That is why they are obliged to wear a welding helmet or a welding hood. The purpose of the welding helmet is to protect the eyes from the light that is released during welding. The hood also protects the eyes from the splashes and sparks that are released during welding.

Asbestos remover

Everyone knows that asbestos can be harmful to your health. For asbestos removal workers, therefore, it goes without saying that they must wear safety glasses. Do dust particles still end up in the eyes? Then this can have major consequences, such as serious illnesses.

Lab technician

Lab technicians examine various raw materials and products and often work in a laboratory or in a factory. While practicing this profession, there is a good chance that they will be exposed to harmful substances, which makes wearing safety glasses mandatory.

Carpenter

Carpenters work with different types of materials. For carpenters, it is necessary to wear safety glasses because there is a good chance that many splinters will be released while cutting and drilling wood. This is also true when working with a grinder.

However, there are many other professions where wearing safety glasses is necessary. In some professions, safety glasses are worn on a daily basis and in some professions only occasionally. This depends on the activities performed during an occupation.

- Construction workers
- Machinists
- Chemists
- Doctors and nurses
- Diamond grinders
- Electricians
- Welders
- Metalworkers
- Mechanics
- Carpenters
- And many more
