Food Production & Packaging

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and as one might expect, animal slaughtering and processing is one of the most hazardous industries in the country. Perhaps less obvious a statistic is that the “Bakeries & Tortilla Manufacturing” is the second most dangerous sector of food packaging. Improving safety in such workplaces is often connected to training and daily reminders of the need for safety, but proper and consistent use of personal protective equipment such as gloves, hard hats and safety eyewear are what each employee needs to remain safe in their work environment. In the food industry, it is very common to move in and out of refrigerated areas which will cause fog to form on most eyewear. For non-prescription and prescription safety glasses, lens treatments such as Essilor’s Optifog® can reduce the fog and improve employee compliance.
