As every work needs the proper tools, it also needs the proper safety equipment.
When a job requires the use of eye/ face protective equipment, we choose the one that responds better to the hazards we will face.
Before choosing, take into consideration the following:
- If you wear corrective eyewear, select goggles that include corrective lenses or goggles that can be worn over the corrective
- If you wear contact lenses, you must –where necessary- wear safety goggles. Dust and chemicals may pose extra danger
- In an electrically hazardous environment pay attention to metallic framed goggles
- Welding helmets and face shields must be used only over safety goggles
- Eye and face protection must be designed to provide ventilation preventing drops of splash to insert
- Atmospheric conditions and limited ventilation may cause fogging of goggles. Make sure goggles are cleaned regularly during work
- Exposure to heat may include exposure to radiation. Make sure you receive protection from both hazards
- If demanded by international standards, filter goggles may be provided. Dark lensed goggles are not filter goggles unless dictated on their body
- Protection from radiation is relevant to the lens thickness. Choose the darkest possible shade that allows easy work performance
- If potential hazards are more than one each time, protection for the highest level of each hazard is necessary
Remember:
A comfortable fit ensures consistent use of the PPE.
