Over 70, 000 people develop eye injuries annually at work in the United States alone. That adds up to $300 million and 17, 000 missed workdays every year, but most incidents are completely preventable. Studies show that 90% of workplace eye injuries could have been avoided with the correct safety eyewear, so your choice in safety glasses has a direct impact on your business' capacity to thrive. Still, the safety glasses market can be difficult to navigate. There are thousands of options and brands available today, so it can be difficult to establish quality. That's where OSHA and ANSI come in. Both organizations have developed a set of manufacturing standards to light your way.

A recent OSHA study showed that 90% of all eye injuries at the workplace are largely preventable. Never underestimate the power of a robust PPE program. Safety eyewear will boost your workers' productivity, reduce your liability, and cut back on sick days. More importantly, it demonstrates that you truly care about your employees, and nothing earns employee loyalty as effectively as that. You expect your staff to be hardworking and dedicated, but those values don't come without investment. A safe workplace should be right at the top of your to-do list, and PPE is at the core of that priority.
