摘要

NEARLY ALL OCCUPATIONS present hazards that require workers to wear eye protection. Users need to know that safety glasses have been rigorously tested and evaluated to a set of industry standards. This knowledge allows wearers to be confident that their safety glasses will do the job, so that workers can focus on the task at hand without worrying about whether their eyes are, in fact, protected. Whenever employees or employers need to reference standards on eye protection, they generally are referred to ANSI Z87.1-2020. Although this standard covers many occupational hazards, a few are not addressed, including biological hazards such as bloodborne pathogens. ANSI Z87.1 does not cover eye protectors for biological hazards. A subcommittee was formed to develop a new standard, ANSI Z87.62, which will include various testing procedures that mimic the different types of biological hazard exposures that can be experienced (spurt and spray). Some targeted occupations with expected exposures to these hazards include nurses, doctors performing procedures, dental healthcare workers and laboratory workers in health-related research fields. A draft test apparatus, testing method and standard have been created to test whether PPE is providing adequate worker protection.
