NEED SAFETY EYEWEAR?
Occupational Vision Care Program
Each year the Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation
Board receives more than 3,500 reports of eye injuries.
The Saskatchewan Association of Optometrists’
Occupational Vision Care program goal is to eliminate
these injuries.
More than one hundred Saskatchewan companies
participate in the Occupational Vision Care program,
protecting the eyes of thousands of employees. Take
responsibility for your employees’ eye safety by
tailoring the program to meet your company’s safety
eyewear needs.

confronted with a confined space, are able
to return home at the end of the work day,
safely and soundly, into the arms of waiting
family and friends.
