If you are involved in an activity where there is a risk of splashing, use cup or cover goggles. Indirect ventilation cup goggles make it difficult for splashes to penetrate the eyes and face. Cover goggles are sufficient for small amounts of chemistry or airborne dusts. For mixing large batches of concentrated or corrosive liquid and powder chemistry, e.g. film or paper developer, a face shield is required. If you wear contact lenses in the studio while in the photography or printmaking studios, unvented safety goggles are highly recommended.
Contact lenses are highly hazardous to the eyes in the presence of toxic vapors, gases, dusts.
While working with the glare of quartz lights or strobe lights, be conscious of the discomfort and stress to the eye caused by direct contact with the source. The following are charts with recommended filter numbers to be worn while welding, in either the sculpture, jewelry, or wood studios.
