Risk Assessment Guidelines – Work Activity, Related Hazards, and Required PPE

The employer, supervisor, or manager should:

1. Evaluate all jobs and tasks to be performed by employees and identify
   potential eye injury hazards.
2. Determine appropriate feasible controls, including engineering controls, work
   practices and safety eyewear.
3. Provide safety eyewear to all employees whose job pose identified eye injury
   hazards where engineering and work practice controls are infeasible or
   insufficient to provide adequate protection.  Examples where safety eyewear
   is needed include potential exposure to eye and face hazards from flying
   particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals, acids, caustic gases, vapors or
   injurious light radiation such as lasers.
4. Provide safety glasses with prescription corrective lenses according to the
   provision of this guidance for employees who normally use prescription
   corrective lenses at work.
