Operations surveyed were: grinding, filing and tool grinding, welding, metalworking, maintenance, painting, foundry work, inspection, transport, cleaning. Non-use of protectors was highest among foundry workers. Reasons: inadequacy of visual perception through protector lenses, perspiration, pressure on temples. |
