SAFETY GOGGLES

• In many working environments it is possible to simply provide over – goggles , particularly to spectacle wearers , but these should not be seen as a long term solution as physical and visual comfort will be limited.

• Safety goggles are most useful to protect from splashes and / or provide high impact resistance.

SWATI PANARA 17

Safety Goggles Needed to be used

when protection is required against chemicals or particles

Only provide protection to the eyes

Goggles are not considered a sources of protection for the whole face, and cannot be used for this purpose.

SWATI PANARA 18

Safety Goggles - CSA

The Canadian Standards Association (CSA)-certifies that safety glasses have plastic polycarbonate lenses.

The manufacturer or supplier logo must be marked or etched on all approved safety lenses, frames (front and temple), removable side shields, and other parts of the glasses, goggles, or helmets.

Safety frames are stronger than street-wear frames and are mostly heat resistant.

SWATI PANARA 22

BOX – TYPE GOGGLES

• One piece lens made of cellulose acetate , polycarbonate or possibly toughened glass and the housing is made of PVC , which gives a good fit around the brows and cheeks.

SAFETY EYEWEAR CON’T• PRESCRIPTION LENSES PRESENT SPECIFIC HAZARDS SUCH AS:

- DUST CAUGHT UNDER THE LENS- CHEMICAL REACTION WITH CONTACTS

• IF PRESCRIPTION GLASSES ARE WORN YOU MUST WEAR:- GOGGLES AND/OR OTHER PROTECTIVE DEVICES

DESIGNED TO FIT OVER GLASSESOR

- PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR GROUND TO YOUR PRESCRIPTION

SWATI PANARA27

FACE SHIELDS These are headband – supported visors that

cover the face and neck , and are used to provide protection from flying particles , molten metal , and chemical splashes.

One major advantage is that can easily be worn over prescription spectacles or other types of eye protection if required .

Provide excellent field of view. Made from either polycarbonate or cellulose

acetate. Provide protection in occupation such as

motorcycling , cricket and security industry……

WELDING SHIELDSConstructed of vulcanized fiber or fiberglass

and fitted with a filtered lens, welding shields protect eyes from burns caused by infrared or intense radiant light; they also protect both the eyes and face from flying sparks, metal spatter and slag chips produced during welding, brazing, soldering and cutting operations.

OSHA requires filter lenses to have a shade number appropriate to protect against the specific hazards of the work being performed in order to protect against harmful light radiation.
