Are you doing all you can to reduce the high costs of eye injuries in the workplace?

Safety at work bannerEvery day in Canada, 200 workers sustain on-the-job eye injuries. Not only are these injuries common, they are also costly, resulting in:
  • Expensive medical and rehabilitation care,
  • Lost profits and working days, and
  • Increased workers’ compensation premiums.

Not to mention the significant human cost – the devastation caused to workers who lose their sight, and to their families, and the effects that eye injuries have on workplace morale and retention.

Participants in an Eye Safety WorkshopThe vast majority of eye injuries are preventable with proper eyewear and safety measures. Investing in on-the-job eye safety program is the best way to motivate and educate your employees and prevent eye injuries.

 Participant testimonial:

“Many people take their vision for granted; they never stop to think about how their life would change if they lost their vision - CNIB’s eye safety workshop reinforces the importance of eye protection. It had a very positive reaction from employees. We liked the hands-on experience and personal stories.”
