Yesterday while working at the Home Depot in New Haven, I heard so many stories about the injuries that occured for multiple people working on home projects. I was talking to a man about how MSA safety glasses are made up of high-impact polycarbonate. He told me that a buddy of his was shooting at polycarbonate with a gun; it bounced off the polycarbonate and hit him directly in his right eye. I guess it goes to show how strong that material really is! Another guy was using a staple gun, without eye protection, and the staple missed and shot up in his eye! He then told me that doctors had to literally stitch his eye ball!!!! AHHH talk about horror story!
About The Blog
Hi, we are MSA’s Safety Squad—Jordan, Natalie, Rafael and Sophie - and we are college students from Pittsburgh, PA. This summer we are traveling across the United States teaching people how to stay safe while they perform Do-It-Yourself tasks around the house! Not only are we visiting various neighborhoods, we are also doing safety demonstrations at various Home Depot and Lowe’s Home Improvement stores. We will be using this Weblog to chronicle our journey, the people we meet and the stories we encounter. We’d also be glad to answer any safety questions you may have. Thanks for visiting!Pages
