TY - JOUR PY - 1984// TI - Eye injuries in a large chemical factory JO - Klinische Monatsblätter für Augenheilkunde (1963) A1 - Froböse, M. A1 - Grüntzig, J. SP - 89 EP - 93 VL - 184 IS - 2 N2 - In an investigation carried out in a large chemical factory it was found that the time lost as a result of eye lesions diminished by 50% between 1971 and 1981. The percentage of foreign employees involved in these accidents (19.5%) was almost the same as the proportion they represent of the total personnel. Accident rates were found to be lowest on Mondays and Wednesdays; peak accident times were in the late morning and early afternoon. Although there has been a considerable improvement in the availability of protective eyewear in recent years, it is still not worn often enough. In 60% of the eye accidents considered here protective goggles should have been worn.
