Course Description

This course will guide both the experienced and new eye care professional (ECP) in fitting industrial safety eyewear as recommended by OSHA requirements, plus classifying the types of protective devices to be utilized. The course first covers specific fitting and maintenance of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), with an emphasis on devices for the protection of the eye. Specific OSHA requirements are identified. A set of frequently asked questions makes recommendations or distinctions in equipment choice. This course concludes with a glossary. While the course is technically part two of two parts, it can stand alone.
