Eye Protection: Does Eye Protection have to be approved by OSHA?
Choosing the appropriate eye protection depends on the workplace hazards. If you are working in an area that has flying objects or dust particles, you should wear safety glasses with side protection (side shields). If you are working with chemicals, you must wear goggles as indirect fumes can get into your eyes.
