Protect Your Vision at Work
Eye injuries can cause permanent vision loss, yet many are preventable with properly selected eye and face protection. OSHA requires training for employees exposed to hazards such as flying particles, chemicals, molten metal, gases, vapors, and injurious light radiation.
This online course provides the knowledge training required under 29 CFR 1910.132(f). Learn when protection is necessary, which equipment fits different hazards, how to wear and maintain it, and which limitations matter before work begins.
Understanding Eye and Face Hazards
Recognize workplace hazards that require protection and understand injuries caused by impact, penetration, chemical burns, and radiation exposure.
Selecting the Right Protection
Learn the differences between safety glasses, goggles, face shields, and specialized protection, and when each type is required.
Welding and Cutting Protection
Understand filter lens requirements, shade selection, and protection for arc welding, gas welding, and oxygen cutting work.
Proper Use and Maintenance
Know how to inspect equipment, achieve a proper fit, recognize when replacement is needed, and keep protection reliable.
