No personnel may enter laboratories or other areas where the above situations exist, or automated processes are in operation, without eye protection. Safety glasses must be used whenever there is a danger of getting something in the eye. They must be equipped with side shields. Safety glasses with side shields do not provide adequate protection from splashes. Goggles with face shields must be used when more protection is needed.
Face shields provide protection to the face and neck.
See the attached chart for help in determining the appropriate type of protection. Eye protection must be made available to employees, students and visitors when the potential for eye injury exists. If you have any questions regarding the selection of appropriate face protection call the Safety Department at X8925. Head Protection OSHA standards require that employees working in areas where there is a possible danger of injury to the head from impact, or from falling or flying objects, or from electrical shock, that they shall be protected by an approved-type protective helmet. Protective helmets shall bear a manufacturer's label indicating design compliance with the appropriate ANSI standard.
