 March Is Workplace Eye Health Safety Month
Each day, more than 2,000 Americans suffer a work-related eye injury. An estimated 10-20% of these injuries cause temporary or permanent vision loss. Each year, workplace eye injuries cost companies more than $300 million in lost productivity and workers’ compensation-related expenses. These tips can help employers prevent on-the-job eye injuries and protect their bottom line.
