Eye Safety: Protecting Your Vision on the Job
Eye safety is an essential priority for sanitation workers who navigate daily exposure to dust, debris, and potential chemical splashes.
At Augment, we treat protective eyewear as a non-negotiable component of workplace safety because sanitation tasks inherently involve high-risk hazards such as airborne particles and waste splashes. To combat these risks, we enforce a strict mandatory PPE policy requiring all workers to wear company-issued protective eyewear at all times. Because these glasses are specifically designed to prevent injuries and enhance visibility in unpredictable environments, non-compliance is not tolerated.
To ensure this equipment remains effective, Augment provides comprehensive training on the proper inspection and maintenance of eyewear. Workers are taught to check for a secure fit, utilize correct cleaning techniques, and identify damage that requires immediate replacement. This technical instruction is backed by our commitment to ongoing safety education, which keeps our team up to date on the latest protocols and reinforces a proactive culture of hazard awareness.
Ultimately, by consistently wearing PPE and participating in continuous training, our workers safeguard their vision and contribute to a significantly safer work environment for everyone.
