In construction, more than 10,600 eye injuries each year force workers to miss work. Construction has a much higher rate of eye injuries than any other industry.

 

The Hazards

Nails, tiny pieces of metal, splinters, and cut wire ends fly in the air. Mixing of cement, sawing, grinding, and chipping produce dusts and grit. So does heavy machinery moving across a site.

Chemicals and welding arc can burn your eyes. If you are not careful, you can hurt your eyes or go blind.

Protect Yourself

WHAT TO WEAR

 

Always wear goggles or safety glasses that have side shields.

If you use contact lenses, wear unvented goggles.

Hazard Alert

Dozens of construction workers are killed and more are injured every year because they did

not de-energize and lock out equipment before working on it. Most of the deaths are

electrocutions, but workers sometimes are crushed or have amputations or other injuries.

 

Las escaleras de fibra de vidrio deben ser tratadas y mantenidas con más cuidado que las escaleras de madera. Después de unos pocos años las fibras de refuerzo en los largueros de fibra de vidrio se ponen al descubierto, lo que resulta en una condición conocida como "afloramiento de la fibra." La alta humedad y exposición al sol pueden acelerar esta condición. El afloramiento de la fibra no afecta la solidez de la escalera pero afecta la apariencia y puede causar molestia si es que las fibras expuestas penetran la piel. El lavar y encerar regularmente la escalera con una cera en pasta que no sea resbalosa, protegerá la escalera y reducirá la posibilidad de afloramiento de la fibra. También puede proteger la escalera barnizándola periódicamente con laca acrílica de poliuretano.
