Eye safety

Eye safety is an important aspect of occupational and academic health, particularly in practical fields such as agriculture where students are frequently exposed to dust, chemicals, sharp tools, and other potential hazards that may cause eye injuries. This study examines the level of awareness of eye safety practices among students in the Faculty of Agriculture. The study aims to determine students’ knowledge of eye safety measures, their attitudes toward eye protection, and the extent to which they adopt preventive practices during agricultural activities and practical sessions.

A descriptive survey research design was employed for the study. Data were collected through the use of structured questionnaires administered to students in the Faculty of Agriculture. The questionnaire assessed respondents’ awareness of eye hazards, knowledge of protective measures, and their compliance with recommended eye safety practices. The data obtained were analyzed using appropriate descriptive statistical methods.

The findings of the study are expected to reveal the level of awareness of eye safety practices among agriculture students and identify possible gaps in knowledge and practice. The study emphasizes the importance of promoting eye safety education and encouraging the use of protective equipment to reduce the risk of eye injuries among students. It is recommended that institutions incorporate eye safety awareness programs and enforce the use of protective gear during practical agricultural activities.
