When must Eye Protection be Provided?
When any of these hazards are present:• Dust and other flying particles, such as metal
shavings or sawdust• Corrosive gases, vapors, and liquids• Molten metal that may splash• Potentially infectious materials such as blood
or hazardous liquid chemicals that may splash• Intense light from welding and lasers

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.

• The housing is generally made of polyvinyl chloride.
• They sometimes have adjustable nasal fitting and , if the rims have screws , the lenses can be replaced or exchanged for another type of lens , e.g. tinted or impact 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

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……
SWATI PANARA 29
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.
