Eye injuries in the workplace
Eye injuries happen in all areas of work and every
company should be prepared to be confronted with an eye accident at the
workplace. After all, if an employee injures their
eye, this can result in serious damage or
loss of sight.
This applies in particular to workplaces where cleaning agents,
hydraulic oils, solvents, acids, alkalis or other aggressive
liquids or substances are used. There is also always a risk of eye injuries in work areas,
where foreign bodies such as chips, dust or dirt particles are produced,
. Rapid and
copious rinsing dilutes the contaminants and flushes them out. Quick
access to an eyewash bottle should therefore be available.
Because: In the event of eye injuries, a few seconds
can decide whether vision is impaired or even lost!
Caution!
In the case of splinter injuries, the eye should not be rinsed but immobilised with a suitable dressing
. The injured person should
consult an ophthalmologist as soon as possible.
