PROTECTING YOUR EYES

The face is one of the most vulnerable areas of the body, especially the eyes. A few simple precautions can help avoid serious injuries. Use cane tops or similar to avoid eye injuries. Avoid whiplash from trees and shrubs when working in amongst them. Beware of sharp edges on greenhouse staging, shelving, door frames and ventilators. Always wear safety glasses goggles when operating powered garden equipment. Avoid rubbing your face and eyes when working to prevent an allergic reaction to plant hairs and sap. If you injure your eyes in any way, seek medical advice immediately.
