Heat-related Injuries

Heat injuries to the eyes and face may happen when workers are exposed to high temperatures, molten metal splashes, or hot sparks. If your job involves pouring, casting, hot dipping, furnace operations, or any similar activities, make sure you protect your eyes. People who work in these environments are susceptible to eye and face burns.

People who work with extreme heat should use goggles or safety spectacles, but they should also wear secondary protectors like face shields in the workplace for extra protection.
