ISEA is developing a standard for biohazard eye and face protection.
11/09/2009
Millions of workers are exposed to biological hazards at work. They include physicians, nurses, technicians and other healthcare workers; laboratory and clinical staff; emergency medical technicians, police and firefighters; first aid providers; maintenance and custodial workers who deal with spills or contaminated waste. Many more workers could be exposed in the case of a pandemic or other outbreak of infectious disease.
Currently there are no standards for eye and face protection against biological hazards. In response to this need, the ISEA Eye and Face Protection Group is beginning development of a voluntary standard that will establish performance requirement, test methods and markings for biohazard eye and face protectors.
The Eye and Face Protection Group sponsored a kick-off meeting for this new standards project on November 9, 2009, during the Fall Meeting. Stakeholders shared their insights and experiences as the association begins drafting this important new standard. Read background information on the project.
