Ensuring the safe and healthy use of workplace chemicals has been a focus of NIOSH research since the Institute began in 1970. NIOSH research related to chemicals includes toxicity studies, occupational epidemiology, studies of how to measure chemicals in the work environment, studies of engineering controls and personal protective equipment, risk assessment, Health Hazard Evaluations (HHEs), and communication tools for understanding and managing chemicals safely at work. The Institute has also published seminal works and policy documents related to chemical management essential to safe and healthy work environments.]]> 2017-12-11 17:55:51 UTC https://padlet.com/309684/2detf4zw982l/wish/215139424 309684 https://padlet.com/309684/2detf4zw982l/wish/215139777 2017-12-11 17:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/309684/2detf4zw982l/wish/215139777 309684 https://padlet.com/309684/2detf4zw982l/wish/215140019 Download these NFPA safety tips on home heating.

Striking or scraping: The majority of eye injuries result from small particles or objects striking or scraping the eye, such as: dust, cement chips, metal slivers, and wood chips. These materials are often ejected by tools, windblown, or fall from above a worker. Large objects may also strike the eye or face, or a worker may run into an object causing blunt-force trauma to the eyeball or eye socket.

Penetration: Objects like nails, staples, or slivers of wood or metal can go through the eyeball and result in a permanent loss of vision.

Chemical and thermal burns: Industrial chemicals or cleaning products are common causes of chemical burns to one or both eyes. Thermal burns to the eye also occur, often among welders. These burns routinely damage workers’ eyes and surrounding tissue.
