Jobs in the oil & gas industry can present very real dangers for eye and vision safety. From welding and
machine work, to drilling and handling caustic chemicals and fluids, the potential threat to employee
eyesight is evident throughout the oil & gas business. Potential threats include:
- Welding sparks
- Grinder fragments
- Hot liquids
- Falling debris
- Sun & glare
- Heavy equipment
The cost of oil may fluctuate on a daily basis but the need for workplace safety around drilling rigs, wells and refineries is a constant. As dangerous as the industry is, with high-pressure injectables, flammable product and jam-packed workplaces, the injury rate is surprisingly low. This can be attributed to the industry being highly focused on safety programs, safety mentality and safety equipment. There are a lot of ways to get hurt around an oil or gas well or a refinery, but facial and eye injuries can be reduced by the use of hard hats and effective, quality safety eyewear. Safety glasses that are durable and easy to clean as well as comfortable and attractive are the key to employee compliance and satisfaction. A first-class safety eyewear program lets first-class employees know that they can depend on the safety programs you have in place.
