Areas where eye protection must be worn are laboratories, glass cleaning and glassblowing shops, and machine shops or any area where active or automated work with chemicals is conducted. Eye protection shall be made available for all personnel and visitors in these areas. Eye protection must be made available to employees, students and visitors, at no cost to them, when the potential for eye injury exists. Safety glasses with side shields should be worn where the potential for air born foreign objects exists. Safety glasses with side shields do not provide adequate protection from splashes.
Face shields afford protection to the face and neck.
