An estimated 24 million eye injuries occur in the U.S. each year. About 2,000 of them will occur today, and every day thereafter, while people are at work. All too many of them will cause the victim to lose some or all of their eyesight. But eye injuries can be prevented.

The Eye Safety in Construction Environments DVD shows how many eye problems are caused by not paying attention to the work employees are doing, or by not wearing the appropriate protective equipment. It reminds employees that eye injuries can easily happen to them and shows them how to prevent these injuries. Most employees take healthy eyes for granted. But our eyes are really very fragile, and statistics show that eye injuries occur frequently in the workplace. The DVD includes information on physiology of the eye and how it functions, common eye injuries and how they are caused, short and long-term effects of eye injuries, eye care and safety practices, selecting and using appropriate personal protective equipment, and more. The DVD comes with a comprehensive leader's guide, reproducible scheduling & attendance form, employee quiz, training certificate and training log.
