Surely this should be a basic issue - surgeons who wear prescription
glasses and who should wear protective eye wear while in theatre should
be provided with appropriate glasses, this would come under PPE Regs
amongst other standards. The same would apply to factory operatives who
have to wear safety glasses, welders etc. This iint a n issue thats
confined to the NHS i wouldnt have thought.
Not sure what "whether this has been taken into account" actually means
- taken into account of what?

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Prescription eye protection for surgeons
Please can anyone enlighten me...
A surgeon called me to ask about provision of prescription eye
protection. I've spoken to our H&S officer who said to ask the theatre
manager whether a risk assessment has been undertaken and whether this
has been taken into account.
Has anyone got any idea as to what surgeons who wear prescription
glasses have to be provided with...? What does everyone else do...?
S :-)
