Eye2Eye Program to Improve Workplace Eye Safety

Uvex and Prevent Blindness America have launched Eye2Eye, a program that hopes to improve eye protection and safety in the workplace. The resource is available online and educates workers on how to discuss the importance of eye safety and health, and increase compliance. The program is based on industry best practices and research conducted within the U.S. and Canada. Once an employee completes the training program, s/he becomes an Eye2Eye safety ambassador, whose role will be to help communication between workers and safety managers.
