OSHA requires employers to ensure the safety of all employees in the work environment. Eye and face protection must be provided whenever necessary to protect against chemical, environmental, radiological, or mechanical irritants and hazards. In laboratories protection and eye wash stations are required due to working with dangerous acids, infectious organisms or corrosive solvents. Anywhere ammonia, bleach and other dangerous liquids are used for cleaning are also places that need to protect housekeeping or janitorial employees.
