Steel Components & Eye Safety

  • For manufacturers sharing shop workers between steel and wood plants, it is prudent to cross-train them on eye protection. 
  • When drilling metal screws into steel components, employees are exposed to metal shavings and fragments. 
  • If metal shards get caught in the eye, rust rings can occur. 
  • Beyond enforcement of PPE, the best thing you can do to encourage the use of eye protection is to find comfortable options for all shop workers.
