Did you know that up to 25% of the workforce may be experiencing undiagnosed vision problems, potentially creating hidden hazards in your operations? This can have serious implications, with studies indicating a 50% increase in the risk of traffic accidents due to impaired vision. Globally, a staggering 2.5 billion people need glasses but do not have them.
To help address these risks and foster a safer working environment, IOGP has published a range of valuable resources, drawing on recommended practices shared by Shell. We encourage you to take action and promote eye health within your organization.
Explore our toolkits and case studies to share insights and address these risks. Learn what it looks like to be nearsighted and understand the potential 50% increase in traffic accident risk due to impaired vision.
Here’s how you can get involved:
- Watch videos on the importance of eye health. Hear firsthand accounts from industry leaders at Shell, including Jeri Ballard, Femi Oduneye, Duncan Manning, and Walid Hadi, who share their perspectives on the importance of vigilance regarding eye health
- Share the “All Eyes on Safety” moment slide with your team
