in the arc. Photokeratitis is usually a
temporary condition involving eye
redness, sensitivity to light, a sensa-
tion of a foreign body in the eyes, and
excessive tears. It rarely causes per-
manent damage, but can be very
painful for six to twenty-four hours."
Another danger is that hot welding
sparks can burn unprotected eyes as
well as the skin.
"Welders or anyone who may be
exposed to a welding flash or arc
should wear appropriate goggles over
their contact lenses. The eye protec-
tion required by the Occupational
Safety and Health Act for welding,
brazing and soldering, is the same
with or without contacts".

The award recognizes and en-
courages outstanding work by a

"I'm pleased with the leadership
Ken Boyd has provided in the re-
structuring of the agricultural
engineering services in the province

of Agriculture and Food."

served as Agricultural Engineering
