As we settle into the Holiday season and we celebrate with those holiday parties,
keep Safety a priority. Travelling with family and friends exposes everyone to risks of
bad weather, bad conditions, busy traffic, frustrated, and impaired drivers.
The cold and snowy winter weather is just around the corner and so is the need to
prepare and protect yourself during the hazardous winter driving. No one wants to
break down any time, but especially not in the cold or snowy weather. Now is a good
time to get your car serviced and your mind thinking and prepared for your travels
coming in the next few months.
Most employers require their employees to wear eye protection at all times while they are working. The “at all times” mandate for eye protection occurred after employers recognized that employees failed to use eye protection when required. Many times injury to the eye is not repairable and there is not a way to replace the eye if damaged beyond repair. Doctors can replace, sew back, and remove many body parts, but they cannot replace the eye. Eye protection is tested and must meet the standard ANSI Z87 or Z87+ which requires the following testing; basic and high impact lenses and frames, exposure to non-ionizing radiation, and chemicals and durability to flammable and corrosion. Additional markings on the frames and lenses will be for the following.

Hard Hats are also broken into three classes relevant to possible electrical exposures under ANSI Z89.1.
