Eye protection safety training is a safety education program that teaches workers how to identify eye and face hazards in the workplace, select the correct type of protective eyewear, and use eye protection properly. eTraining’s course provides approximately 30 minutes of instruction covering OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 standards, including types of eye hazards, categories of eye and face protection (safety glasses, goggles, face shields, welding helmets), ANSI Z87.1 standards, proper selection based on hazard type, and care and maintenance of protective eyewear. Upon completion, participants receive a printable certificate of completion.

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132(f) requires employers to train each employee who is required to use personal protective equipment, including eye and face protection. Training must cover when PPE is necessary, what PPE is necessary, how to properly don, doff, adjust, and wear it, its limitations, and its proper care, maintenance, useful life, and disposal. Employers must also provide retraining when workplace conditions change, when the types of PPE change, or when an employee demonstrates inadequate knowledge of PPE use.

The course takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. Because it is self-paced, you can complete it in a single session at your convenience. Most students finish in one sitting. You have 6 months from your enrollment date to complete all coursework. Progress is saved automatically on the same device, so you can stop and resume at any time.

Yes. eTraining’s Eye Protection Safety course covers OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 standards for eye and face protection and is accepted nationwide. You receive a printable certificate of completion that documents your training. Employers across all 50 U.S. states accept this training as part of their PPE compliance programs.

The course covers four main categories of eye and face protection: safety glasses (with side shields for impact protection from flying particles), safety goggles (for splash and dust protection, forming a seal around the eyes), face shields (for full-face protection from chemical splashes, molten metal, and flying debris), and welding helmets and goggles (with filter lenses for protection from harmful light radiation during welding and cutting operations). The course explains when each type is required based on the specific hazard present.

The course covers: types of eye and face hazards in the workplace (flying particles, chemical splashes, molten metal, dust, harmful light radiation); OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 requirements; ANSI Z87.1 standards for protective eyewear; types of eye and face protection and their applications; proper selection of eye protection based on hazard type; fitting and adjusting protective eyewear; care, maintenance, and inspection of eye protection; and the employer’s hazard assessment responsibilities. The course is divided into 2 parts with knowledge-check quizzes.

ANSI Z87.1 is the American National Standards Institute standard for occupational and educational personal eye and face protection devices. It establishes testing and performance requirements for protective eyewear, including impact resistance, optical clarity, and coverage area. OSHA requires that all protective eye and face devices comply with ANSI Z87.1. When purchasing safety eyewear, look for the Z87 mark on the frame and lenses, which indicates compliance with the standard.

There is no federally mandated expiration date for eye protection safety training certificates. However, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132(f) requires retraining when workplace conditions change, when the types of PPE change, or when an employee demonstrates inadequate knowledge of PPE use. Refresher training is recommended to maintain current knowledge of eye protection standards and best practices.
