I can't see any reason why safety glasses should be contraindicated for a person suffering from epilepsy, if he can't or won’t wear the correct PPE then he can’t do the job. What reason does he give for not wanting to wear this PPE?
Regards
Jo

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Safety glasses in Epilepsy
Good morning.
Please could any of you out there help?
I have recently joined a company providing Occ. Health to several industrial sites and am new to this website.
An employee at one of the factories i am responsible for, states that he cannot wear safety glasses due to him being an epileptic. My senior nurse has never heard of this being a contra-indication, so i am appealing to the masses, to see if anyone has come across this and for any advice.
Thank You,
Angie Sendell, RN
