Eye and face protection is vitally important in workspaces that may pose risk of injury or harmful exposure to a worker鈥檚 eyes or face such as 

  • flying objects, particles, and dust (e.g., grinding, cutting, hammering, sawing)
  • splashes (including droplets and sprays) from chemicals and biological material
  • radiation (e.g., welding) and lasers
  • abrasive and molten material

In 2021, eye protection became mandatory in 秀色短视频 laboratories as a measure to ensure the safety of all laboratory workers. The details of eye and face protection can be found on the site including a 秀色短视频 Eye and Face Protection Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Each supervisor will be responsible for including eye and face protection in all applicable site-specific SOPs. 

For any questions or concerns please contact hse@upei.ca for assistance.  

In April 2023, Universities Canada released their 鈥淐ommitments to Truth and Reconciliation鈥 document, which outlines six commitments in response to the TRC Calls to Action. A group of 秀色短视频 colleagues have been researching what this looks like in Atlantic Canada Universities. Join them in the TLC on November 4 at 10:30 am to learn more.
