Two recent incidents have uncovered a previously unknown phenomenon of
|
||
|
|
the most serious gravity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. At Duquesne Electric a worker threw an electrical switch into a
|
||
|
|
closed position, which produced a short-lived electrical spark.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. An employee at UPS flipped open the colored lense of his welding
|
||
|
|
helmet to better position the welding rod. He inadvertently struck
|
||
|
|
the metal rod to be welded producing an electric arc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BOTH MEN WERE WEARING CONTACT LENSES. Upon returning home from work,
|
||
|
|
they removed the contact lenses, and THE CORNEA OF THE EYE WAS REMOVED
|
||
|
|
ALONG WITH THE LENS. RESULT: PERMANENT BLINDNESS!!!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The electric arc generates microwaves that instantly bond the cornea of
|
||
|
|
the eye to the lens, by drying up the fluid between the eye and the
|
||
|
|
lens. THIS TRAUMA (INJURY) IS PAINLESS AND THE INDIVIDUAL NEVER KNOWS
|
||
|
|
THAT AN INJURY HAS OCCURRED UNTIL THE CONTACT LENS IS REMOVED!!

|
As this phenomenon was UNKNOWN, no Federal, State, or local safety and
|
||
|
|
health agency has regulations on this matter but they are pursuing the
|
||
|
|
investigation and hopefully will take immediate action.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the meantime, it is suggested that NO CONTACT LENSES BE WORN by
|
||
|
|
anyone who is potentially subject to an electrical sparking situation.
