In 1987-88 the amount of recorded lost time eye injuries was 216 out of 2,246 LTIs.
Two decades later, 15 lost time eye injuries were recorded out of a total of 462 LTIs.
Resources Safety attributes this improvement to a greater compliance with the requirement to wear eye protection as well as more functional and comfortable safety glass designs.
