Posted By George Wedgwood Site work can always present hazards such as flying dust and particles so in my company we insist that everyone wears light eye protection at work, including FLT operators. That is the result of our risk assessment. Should vision be a problem we provide prescription eyewear free (not fashion frames!) and peripheral vision is eliminated by the selection of good quality 'wrap round' eyewear. Over-specs are generally not suitable for employees working but will be OK for visitors etc. The law requires a general risk assessment of your activities and site risks as well as a task specific RA and an individual PPE assessment - and that means "personal" not generic! Do that and you should help reduce risk and ensure employee cooperation - they should be involved in any PPE selection exercise. George
