What Is Eye Protection?


There are numerous workplaces that present a risk to eye health or have the potential to cause eye injuries. In those environments, there are three main types of eye protection that need to be used: safety goggles, glasses or full-face masks. They all protect this delicate anatomical feature from harm, and the various types can improve protection levels.

Eye injuries include incursions by foreign bodies that can scratch the cornea, but also burns, and injury from chemical splashes or fumes. Excessive temperatures and impact can also be damaging to the eyes, and both of those factors also demand eye protection equipment and signage.

In these types of workplaces, eye protection signage is vital. A caution eye protection required sign is often mandatory to remind people of the risk, and informational health and safety signs can explain the proper use of PPE and other safety protocols.

Safety Made Simple


Clear messages - It’s important that you choose Safety Signs that feature clear, concise language and easy to interpret images to convey crucial safety instructions in areas of risk. Products that have a simple message, such as our ‘Eye Protection Must Be Worn’ Signs, help to ensure that workers know that there is a danger to their health if they do not wear eye protection. These signs are available in a variety of materials and fixings, from self-adhesive vinyl to rigid plastic and are sold as both single units or as a great-value multipack.

You may need to be more specific about which Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is most suitable for a particular area. Sometimes Safety Goggles are the best option in some workplaces and again, a simple notice to convey this is the best option. A notice such as our ‘Wear Goggles’ Sign has highly visible text alongside the widely-recognised image of a head wearing safety goggles, so even if the words are not clear then the image will convey the message.

Sometimes, you might need to make more dramatic messages to reinforce the safe working practices and remind people that the eyes are actually delicate. Our ‘You Only Have One Pair Of Eyes! Protect Them’ Sign is a very clear reminder that those who do not wear the right eye protection are putting their sight in danger. Damage to the eyes will affect every aspect of daily life, so the more that can be done to prevent it the better.

Images speak louder than words - The Eye Protection Symbol Sign is ideal for if you prefer to have a sign that has just an image on it, without any words. The image of a head wearing eye protection is often enough to serve as a reminder to people when they should be taking extra precautions with their eyesight. This also removes the need for having signs in different languages

Define Areas of Danger


Though general PPE Signs are ideal for informing of the risks, it can be more effective to place signs around specific areas where the threat is the most likely. By choosing the right messages in the right areas, you can create zones where the need for eye protection cannot go unnoticed. Our range of signs and mounting options will allow you to set up prominent messages where they are needed most.

Our ‘Stop - Safety Glasses Required Beyond This Point’ Signs are bright red and impossible to ignore and are ideal for use at eye level near entrances.

Similarly, our ’Wear Goggles When Operating This Machine’ Signs can be affixed directly at the point of use, helping to catch the attention of any workers who may not already be wearing correct protective equipment.

We even have signs that inform of more specific PPE than just Safety Glasses and Safety Goggles. When operating some equipment, more comprehensive eye and face protection is needed. The notice featured on our ‘Wear Visor’ Sign signifies to the worker that the equipment being used may have the potential to give off sparks or splinters of material and mandates that a suitable Face Shield is needed. The signs should be placed on and around that piece of equipment to make it clear that it should not be operated without the right PPE.

Which Companies Need Eye Protection Signage?


Finding a supplier of durable and compliant eye protection signs can be vital for a wide range of employers, as this is a risk that affects numerous workplaces.

The most obvious workplace requiring a 'wear eye protection' sign is a construction site, or a location where crews are engaged in building renovation or extension.

Many tradespeople and contractors need to be reminded of health and safety rules on this topic when using sanding, carving, cutting and grinding equipment that could generate wood or metal fragments. You can place some types of eye protection safety signage on the machinery itself, as a reminder before it is switched on. Any manufacturing, automotive, engineering, quarrying or mining workplace that carries a risk of flying debris would need an 'eye protection must be worn' sign in strategic locations. PPE to safeguard eye health can also be important in places where there is excessive heat, or risk of sparks or glare, for example, in which case an eye protection mandatory sign would be placed next to the appropriate protective equipment.

Laboratories often use eye-related PPE, and they would also need to display eye protection signs to mitigate against the risk of chemical, debris or even biological material impacting this sensitive part of the body. Places, where chemicals are used that can create splashes or microscopic air transfer, can demand the use of signs featuring a wear eye protection symbol as a timely reminder to staff. Some healthcare organisations also need eye protection equipment and signs, to ensure that workers don’t suffer harm from biological materials, or excessive light, heat or radiation, for example.

A mandatory eye protection sign should also be placed prominently and clearly in situations where production processes generate airborne particles that present a risk, such as dust or fibres. Companies that put workers close to optical radiation, radioactive materials and strong light sources are, of course, mandated to provide specialist PPE such as full-face shields and hazmat clothing, alongside signage that includes eye protection signs. For mechanics working on vehicles or machinery, appropriate PPE and prominent eye protection signage may also be vital, as oil or fuel splashes, or sparks, can be harmful. A warehouse may even need to erect an eye protection sign near to loading bay doors, for example, if there is a risk of injury from materials shattering when dropped, or debris blown in the operator’s face.
