Two-thousand occupational eye injuries occur every day in the U.S., resulting in missed days of work, temporary or permanent loss of vision for the employee, and enormous costs to employers.
Workplace safety is a growing concern among workers in the United States, primarily because of negative publicity that some incidents have garnered over the past several years. In 2014 alone, a total of 4,821 people were killed on the job, translating to 13 deaths every day.
When it comes to evaluating the protection levels of work gloves, two major industry standards are recognized worldwide: ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 and EN 388:2016.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly three out of every five workers injured are not wearing eye protection at the time of the accident.
