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.
