Areas requiring chemical goggles must be designated, and the goggles worn around the head rather than a hard hat. Looking down when removing goggles helps prevent getting anything in the eyes. Safety glasses with dark tint lenses should not be worn at night, indoors during the day, or without protective eyewear for activities like welding. A face shield plus safety glasses or goggles is required for activities like grinding, buffering, sawing, or chiseling where debris could fly. Side-shield safety glasses are needed under a welding hood, and goggles for gas welding/cutting while welding hoods are used for electric welding and cutting.

A face shield, in addition to either side-shield safety glasses or chemical goggles is required when: using or observing use of grinders and buffers using friction cut-off saws, impact chisels, or if the job involves flying debris. Side-shield safety glasses are required under a welding hood while arc welding. Welding goggles shall be used for all gas welding or cutting, Welding hoods shall be used for all electric welding & cutting. Thought For the Day: Why wear safety glasses? If not, you may end up in the dark. EH&S Daily Emphasis Eye Protection
