 The intent of the program is to protect worker vision in a variety of sight-hazardous areas of operations at FRCSE and remote locations. The SOW will provide for PSE procurements and upkeep only for FRCSE personnel located in the greater Jacksonville/NE Florida area.  (FRCSE employees at remote locations in other states have their PSE needs addressed by another local purchase program.
