Eye Protection: Hazards and Prevention is a 24-minute online course that trains employees on identifying eye and face hazards and selecting appropriate protective eyewear as required by OSHA standards 29 CFR 1926.102 (construction) and 29 CFR 1910.133 (general industry). It is designed for workers in construction, manufacturing, and industrial settings and includes a downloadable certificate of completion.
Eye and face protection violations ranked 9th on OSHA's FY 2025 Top 10 Most Cited Standards list, with 1,665 violations recorded under 29 CFR 1926.102 alone. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that more than 2,000 work-related eye injuries occur every day in the United States, with roughly one-third requiring emergency room treatment. Many of these injuries result in temporary or permanent vision loss. For employers, each serious violation of OSHA's eye and face protection standard carries penalties up to $16,550 - and the vast majority of these injuries are preventable with proper eyewear selection and consistent enforcement.
This course trains your employees to recognize the eye and face hazards present in their work environment and select the appropriate protective equipment for each task. It covers the types of eye hazards workers encounter - from flying particles and chemical splashes to welding arc radiation - and explains how to match the right eyewear to each exposure. Your team will learn proper fit, care, and maintenance of eye protection, along with the ANSI Z87.1 markings that indicate impact and splash ratings on protective eyewear.
OSHA enforces eye and face protection under two primary standards: 29 CFR 1926.102 for construction and 29 CFR 1910.133 for general industry. Both require employers to ensure that employees use appropriate eye or face protection when exposed to hazards from flying particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals, acids, caustic liquids, chemical gases or vapors, or potentially injurious light radiation. Eye and face protection ranked 9th on OSHA's FY 2025 Top 10 Most Cited Standards with 1,665 violations under the construction standard alone. The most frequently cited subsection - 1926.102(a)(1) - accounts for the overwhelming majority of these violations, reflecting a persistent failure by employers to provide appropriate eyewear. Serious violations carry penalties up to $16,550, and willful or repeated violations can reach $165,514. All protective eyewear must comply with ANSI Z87.1 consensus standards, and employers must conduct a hazard assessment to determine the appropriate level of protection for each task.
