Goggles

Types of Eye Protection

Goggles

  • Goggles are very similar to safety glasses but fit closer to the eyes.
  • They provide additional protection in situations involving liquid splashes, fumes, vapors, and dust.
  • Some models can be worn over prescription glasses and others are made with fabric eyecups to provide better ventilation.
  • For welding or work with torches, goggles or helmets are available with filter lenses to shield the eyes from radiation and glare.
  • Always inspect prior to issuing and prior to each use.
  • Damaged or defective PPE shall be removed from service immediately.
  • Face shield and safety glasses or goggles shall be worn for chipping, grinding, or sawing.
