ISPB Presents WorkplaceEye Safety Program

The Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness presented its Workplace Eye Safety Program to the physical plant employees and office staff of the Illinois Department of Central Management Services. These presentations were held at the State of Illinois Building in 2001. Prevention of workplace injuries, first aid and general eye care were the major topics discussed. Over 100 employees attended the eye safety presentations.

Due to the tremendous response to the program, the ISPB will conduct two more presentations in May of 2002.
