Effectiveness of Existing Eye Safety Legislation in Arizona.
Gillaspy, Roy Eugene
This study was designed to ascertain the current practices of eye safety in Arizona high school industrial education laboratories, including the enforcement of eye safety legislation, use of eye protection devices, how the eye ware meets the American National Standards Institute specifications, and the teachers' interpretations of the existing eye legislation. The Arizona eye safety law does not ensure protection in school laboratories and the Arizona Department of Education rules and regulations concerning eye safety, while giving detailed guidelines for schools in meeting the requirements of the law, do not provide a prescribed method of enforcing the law. Industrial educators are aware of the hazards inherent in industrial education laboratories and accept the legal and moral responsibility because of the educational value of student involvement. Data were collected through personal interviews with industrial education teachers in 51 percent of the high schools in Arizona, with varying interpretations of the eye safety legislation being recorded. On the basis of the detailed findings of the study, recommendations made included the rewriting of the eye safety law so that there could be only one interpretation of its content and provisions for enforcement of the law.
