Selecting the Right Eye Protection - VIDEO
When you're working in an area where particles are in the air or there's a possibility of chemical splashes or thermal burns, you're going to need proper eye protection. Finding the right eyewear can make all the difference in workplace safety.
For some jobs, deciding on the proper eyewear may be easy. For example, welding requires welding glasses, if not a full mask. However, in other situations, it's easy to overlook potential hazards.
Ask yourself what potential risks a job holds. Is there a chance that a contaminant could enter from the sides, above or below your safety glasses? If so, goggles may be a better option. Also, make sure that any protective eyewear fits well and won't loosen throughout the day.Take a look at 5 tips for workplace eye safety
