Prescription safety glasses

Nevertheless, prescription safety glasses, that are made-to-order, are readily available through specialized sources only, and though a little more expensive, should be used exclusively for the full-time laboratory researcher or staff. It has been observed that the contact lenses do provide certain extent of protection against possible mechanical damage to the eye however, the wearing of protective goggles is still very much essential and almost a must. [Pg.2]

Ordinary prescription glasses do not provide adequate protection against injury. Prescription safety glasses and goggles can be obtained. [Pg.86]

A researcher was about to prepare an ice trap in a Dewar to cool a stationary stainless steel receiver on a chemical reactor system. The researcher had positioned the Dewar on a laboratory jack stand and had raised the Dewar into position. The Dewar imploded, propelling glass shards toward the researcher, who fortunately was wearing prescription safety glasses and received only minor facial cuts. The researcher should have been wearing a full-length face shield and should have had a cover on the Dewar. [Pg.134]

Do not allow employees to take prescription safety glasses off of the job-site. [Pg.105]

Lenses for safety glasses are made from highly impact resistant plastics such as modified acrylics and polycarbonate. They will resist puncture from flying objects and offer the exceptional eye protection. They can be molded to prescription requirements. [Pg.236]

Eye protection must be worn at all times. Safety goggles are the ultimate safety glasses with side shields are acceptable prescription glasses are better than nothing, but should be worn with goggles hard and soft contact lenses are useless. [Pg.5]

Ordinary prescription eyeglasses don t offer adequate protection. Laboratory safety glasses should be of plastic or tempered glass. If you do not have such glasses, wear goggles that afford protection from splashes and objects coming from the side as well as the front. If plastic safety glasses are permitted in your laboratory, they should have side shields (see Fig. 1). [Pg.13]

If a chemical splashes into your eyes, it could do serious and sometimes permanent damage to your vision. The most common forms of eye protection include safety glasses (with sideshields), goggles, and face shields. Prescription eye glasses are acceptable provided that the lenses are impact resistant and they are equipped with side shields. [Pg.24]

The use of over-the-glass (OTG) safety eyewear is the leading reason for not having a formal prescription safety eyewear program, with approximately 20 percent of the companies surveyed indicating the use of OTGs in lieu of a prescription safety eyewear program. Another 10 percent indicated that they rely upon that individual s own prescription eyewear. [Pg.41]

If employees wear prescription glasses, they must wear safety glasses with protective lenses that provide optical correction. [Pg.666]

Perhaps one of the most important PPE is protective eyewear. Prescription or loose-fitting safety glasses offer only limited protection against chemical splash. Here, goggles that are snug-fitting are preferred because these offer a measure of protection against impact and splash incidents in the laboratory. [Pg.318]

Do not provide non-prescription safety eyewear that fits comfortably over regular glasses, or... [Pg.105]

In general, safety glasses should be worn whenever a person is working outside at a process facility, working indoors with hazardous chemicals, and in most nonoffice work areas. Prescriptive lenses must comply with the overall safety glass policy. Safety glasses should meet the requirements of ANSI Z87.1, 2010. [Pg.137]

Wear eye protection at all times. The potential for serious and perhaps permanent eye injury makes it mandatory that adequate eye protection be worn at all times by students, instructors, and visitors. Eye protection should be donned before entering the laboratory and should be used continuously until it is time to leave. Serious eye injuries have occurred to people performing such innocuous tasks as computing or writing in a laboratory notebook such incidents usually result from someone else s loss of control over an experiment. Regular prescription glasses are not adequate substitutes for eye protection approved by the Office of Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Contact lenses should never be used in the laboratory because laboratory fumes may react with them and have a harmful effect on the eyes. [Pg.53]
