WEEK'S CAMPAIGN IN N.Z.
Eye Safety Week—a nation-wide plan to save human eyes from injury—will begin today. The eye-conservation campaign has been instituted by the Health Department, in conjunction with the Department of Labour and the National Safety Association.
The campaign is aimed at industry and every other walk of life, not forgetting the home —wherever persons need to use their eyes.
It is most specifically directed at New Zealand industry, where there are at least 3000 serious cases of eye injury each year.
A total of 150,000 reprints of articles on eye safety is being distributed to industrial, agricultural, and domestic sectors of the community.
Posters telling how valuable the human eye is will be distributed throughout the industrial complex.
Eye-safety bumper strips and safety stickers have been printed for use this week an motor vehicles. The aim of the Eye Safety Week is to make every man, woman, and child in New Zealand alert to eye dangers and the wisdom of eye care and protection.
