Course overview

The OSHAA 30-Hours Professional Diploma in Eye Safety has been developed to tackle these challenges by equipping participants with the knowledge and practical skills required to protect and preserve vision health in diverse work environments. This structured program empowers professionals to recognize, prevent, and manage eye hazards across industries ranging from construction and manufacturing to laboratories and office settings.

Eye safety is a vital aspect of workplace health and safety, yet it is often overlooked until an accident occurs. Each year, thousands of workers suffer preventable eye injuries caused by hazardous substances, mechanical impacts, or prolonged exposure to digital screens. Such incidents not only result in personal pain and long-term vision problems but also contribute to reduced productivity, higher medical expenses, and workplace disruptions.

Over the course of 30 hours, learners will gain a thorough understanding of eye anatomy and vision fundamentals, while exploring risks associated with chemical exposure, radiation, and mechanical hazards. The diploma also emphasizes international occupational safety standards, proper selection of protective equipment, and effective emergency response strategies. By completing this program, participants will be prepared to uphold workplace safety, reduce risks, and safeguard the long-term well-being of employees.
